How to handle boxes
Box types and their handling
The USS is designed as a hierarchical system of boxes. A box may contain other boxes or an indicator. The four main boxes are all boxes containing boxes.
A box may be opened by double clicking or selecting 'open' from the right click menu. Alternatively, 'open level' from the right-click menu will open the box and its graphs.
When holding the "Shift' key while double clicking, USS opens and zooms in on a closed box/graph or closes and zooms out on an open box/graph
Note that the right click menu items are context depending. Right click on the graph itself results in other options then right click on the border of the graph.
Indicator types
- An indicator may be represented in a graph, chart or in a map.
- A cream-colored box contains a graph or chart, a blue box contains a map.
How to explore graphs
A graph is composed of a graph area and a border area. The right border shows the dimensions and classes of this particular indicator. The left border shows the unit and its range. The lower border shows the time axis. From the edit menu or the top menu icons several dialogs can be opened to manipulate graphs.
The Edit menu contains the following options (also available as icon):
- Domain: to scale the X-axis.
- Dimension: to make a cross-section of classes of the available dimensions.
- Range: to scale the Y-axis
- Widget: to define the graph type.
Corresponding dimensions of graphs are coupled. So selecting a region set in the dimension dialog, will effect all graphs with the same dimension identifier. After modifying the dimensions of the graph, you can restore the original setting of USS by inspecting the identifier. The code between the parenthesis indicates the USS setting. An example for the region dimension clarifies this:
- Region (w): check single and select 'world', (t) for total, may be used in other dimensions
- Region (a): select all regions except world
- Region (1): select one specific region
