Using Other Display Modes

In addition to the table mode, the Model Editor has two other display modes: browser mode and diagram view. You can switch between display modes with the Change Display View pop-up button on the toolbar as shown in Figure 16.

Diagram View

The diagram view of the Model Editor is very useful for displaying and printing your model graphically. As with the table mode, you can use the diagram view to edit components of the model, but it's editing capabilities are more limited.

Use the Show Entity and Show Relationship pop-up lists just under the toolbar to specify the information you want to include in the diagram. Click the Entity Chooser button to display the Entity Chooser panel, where you can choose the entities you want to include in the diagram.

Browser Mode

To display the attributes for a particular entity, such as Movie, select the entity. The attributes appear in the column to the right of the entity along with the entity's relationships. You can traverse the model by clicking relationships, as shown in Figure 18
