Displaying the Network

The commands in this section are various ways of printing, or otherwise displaying, the information in the network.

(dump {nodeset}tex2html_wrap_inline4051 context-specifier) 
Prints the name of each node in the nodeset that is in the context specified by context-specifier, along with all arcs going from it or into it, and the nodes that each arc points to or from. For a complete dump of the network, execute (dump *nodes :context all-hyps).

(describe {nodeset}tex2html_wrap_inline4051 context-specifier) 
Similar to dump, but: describes only the molecular and pattern nodes in the nodesets; describes all molecular and pattern nodes dominated by nodes it describes; describes any node at most once--the second and later times, only the node's name is printed.

(full-describe {nodeset}tex2html_wrap_inline4051 context-specifier) 
Similar to describe, but also shows the context(s) each node is asserted in. Unlike dump and describe, full-describe can describe nodes that are not in any context.

(surface {nodeset}tex2html_wrap_inline4051) 
  Generates a description of each node in each nodeset using the currently loaded GATN grammar starting in state g.

(xginseng ) 
X Windows based facility for creating, editing, and displaying SNePS networks. See Chapter 6.
