<chapter id="introduction">
<title>Introduction</title>
<para>&rocs; aims to be a Graph Theory IDE for helping professors to show the
results of a graph algorithm and also helping students to do the
algorithms.</para>

<para>&rocs; has a scripting module, done in Qt Script, that interacts with the
drawn graph and every change in the graph with the script is reflected on the drawn one.</para>

<chapter id="using-rocs">
<title>Using &rocs;</title>
<para>
The user interface is divided in two parts:
</para> 

<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
the top right part is where you draw your graphs, and the bottom right one is where you 
create your algorithms,
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
the left sidebar is where all your open graphs stay, you can open multiple 
graphs per file.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>


<sect1 id="rocs-features">
<title>&rocs; global settings</title>
<para>
On the left sidebar you can find the options for each opened graph, all these options are global 
per graph and can be changed per node and edge with the Node Properties and the Edge Properties dialogs.</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Graph Name</guilabel>
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Node Color</guilabel> for new created nodes, you can change the node color for all current nodes 
by clicking the <guilabel>All</guilabel> button
</para></listitem>

<guilabel>Edge Color</guilabel>
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>The last row of options consists in toggled buttons:</para>

<sect1 id="rocs-toolbars">
<title>&rocs; toolbars</title>
<para>There are two toolbars, on the top. The main one has the following tools:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Move Node</guilabel>: moves a node around the drawing area.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Add Node</guilabel>: creates a new node at the clicked position on the drawing area.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Add Edge</guilabel>: creates a new edge between two nodes.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Select</guilabel>: select items by clicking on them.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
<guilabel>Delete</guilabel>: delete items by clicking on them.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
Use the align tools to place selected nodes.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>

<para>A right mouse click on a node or edge brings you the property dialog for that node 
or edge.</para>
<para>The layout toolbar consists in various aligns icons.</para>

<para>To align nodes, choose the <guiicon>Select</guiicon> tool, click and drag a rectangle, then choose 
the alignement  that you want.
