Diagram view manipulation

    After you create a decision tree diagram, you may need more space between nodes, wider nodes for long text, or a different zoom level. You can control these settings from the Diagram Overview panel.

    Use the rectangle in the Diagram Overview panel to pan around a large diagram. The panel also includes a zoom slider, buttons to fit the diagram inside the visible canvas, and a button to reset the zoom level to 100%.

    Increase or Decrease Node Width

    If a node is too narrow, long text is cut off and shown with an ellipsis. The full text is still available in the tooltip, but you may want more of it visible in the diagram. Use the node-width slider to increase or decrease node width.
