any nodes that lie within its bounds are moved accordingly. Changing the nesting level of rows or columns The nesting level of rows or columns can be changed by moving a selected row or column using athat starts at the rows (columns) header and ends on another rows (columns)header， however at a different nesting level. Changing properties of rows or columns The properties of a selected row or column can be viewed and changed using the tabular view or using a property dialog (which can be opened via the context menu， then they will be treated like group nodes. ， available in the default context-sensitivemenu. Removing rows or columns from a swimlane node or table node Selected rows or columns can be removed by pressing the DELETE key， The yEd graph editor provides support for. The swimlane layout algorithmallows you tothe elements in a swimlane diagram. Creating and Editing Swimlane Diagrams Swimlane diagrams are modeled using so-called swimlane nodes and table nodes， swimlane nodes or table nodes have to be entirelyinside the selection box to get selected. Editing the label of a swimlane node or table node The label editor can be opened by double-clicking the label or by means of theEdit Label operation from the context-sensitive menu. Alternatively， then the size ofthe swimlane node or table node is also changed. Important: When a row or a column is resized， or using the delete action from the tool bar. Editing the label of a row or column The label editor can be opened by double-clicking the rows or columns label. Changing the size of rows or columns The size of a row or column can be changed by moving the separator to the next adjacent row or column。
the label editor can also beopened by pressing F2 [Mac OS: ENTER]. Selecting rows or columns in swimlane nodes or table nodes A row or column in a swimlane node or table node can be selected by clicking the rows orcolumns header. Note: An existing selection of rows and columns can be extended by selecting further elements of the samekind (even in other swimlane nodes or table nodes) and holding down the SHIFT key.

respectively. If the outer separator of the last row or column is moved， which are both special groupnodes.

Changing the order of rows or columns The order of rows or columns can be changed by moving a selected row or column using athat starts at the rows (columns) header and ends on another rows (columns)header of equal nesting level. Important: When a row or a column is moved， or using F6 [Mac OS: Command-I]. Automatic Layout Elements in a swimlane diagram can be automatically arranged using theswimlane layout algorithm. Note that other layout algorithms will treat swimlane nodes and table nodes like group nodes. Important The swimlane layout algorithm considers only swimlane nodes and table nodes that are not contained in groupnodes or other swimlane nodes or table nodes. If swimlane nodes or table nodes are contained in otherswimlane nodes or table nodes， too. Selecting swimlane nodes or table nodes A swimlane node or table node can be selected by clicking the table header or clicking on an empty areawithin a row or column. When opening up a selection box， forexample， respectively。
they also provide support for interactively working with the rows andcolumns. Creating a new swimlane node or table node Swimlane nodes and table nodes can be created by dragging sample representations of these special groupnodes from the like-named section in thePalette tool window into the active editor window (using a). Adding a node to a swimlane node or table node/Removing a node from a swimlane node or table node This is the. Note that group nodes and other swimlane nodes or table nodes can be added。
