Stream with comments added
Others can then view these comments on-screen, or you can print out an image of the stream
that includes the comments.
You can list all the c om ments for a stream or SuperNode, change the order of comments in the
list, edit the comment text, and change the foreground or background color of a comment. For
more information, see the to pic Listing Stream Comme nts on p. 84.
You can also add notes in the form of text annotations to streams, nodes and nuggets by
means of the Annotations tab of a stream properties dialog box, a node dialog box, or a model
nugget window. These notes are visible only when the Annotations tab is open, except that
stream annotations can also be shown as on-screen comments. For more information, see the
topic Ann otations on p . 86.
Comments
Comments take the form of text boxes in which you can enter any amount of text, and you can
add as many comments as you like. A comment can be freestanding (not attached to any stream
objects) , or it can be connected to one or m ore nodes or model nuggets in the stream. Freestanding
comments are typically used to describe the overall pu r pose of the stream; connected comments
describe the node or nugget to which they are attached. Nodes and nuggets can have more than
one c omment attached, and the stream can have any number of freestanding comments.
Note: You can also show stream annota tions as on-screen comments, though these cannot be
attache d to nodes or nuggets. For more information, see the topic Converting Annotations to
Comments on p. 85.
