Node Styles

There are several different forms in which a node can be displayed, and these are known as node styles.  There is a default style for the whole net, but each node can be set to its own style individually, which overrides the default.

Default Style:  To set the default style for the = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_active_window.htm');return false;">active net, make sure that no nodes are = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_deselect_nodes.htm');return false;">selected, and then choose the desired style from the Style menu, or = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_right_click.htm');return false;">right-click on the net = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_background.htm');return false;">background and choose Modify Default Node Style.  If some nodes don't change, perhaps they have overriding styles (see below).

To have some nodes override the default style, = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_select_node.htm');return false;">select them and then choose the desired style from the Style menu.  If you have given some nodes an overriding style, but now you want them back to the default style, select them and choose Style Default.

Forms:  The various node forms are:       

  Labeled-Box:

Draws a box whose shape and color are determined by the node kind, with the name/title of the node written within it (= 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_deterministic_node.htm');return false;">deterministic nodes will be displayed using a thick border).

  Belief-Bar:

Draws a bar graph showing the current beliefs for each state of the node.

  Meter:

Displays a needle meter showing the = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_mean_value.htm');return false;">mean value for = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_continuous.htm');return false;">continuous nodes and the current = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_belief.htm');return false;">belief for = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_discrete_node.htm');return false;">discrete nodes.

Other Styles:  Keep in mind that you can also change other aspects of the node style, such as the size, font, color, and labeling of the nodes.
