Setting Program Control Flow Project Options

Use the Program Control Flow tab of the Project Options window to control the depth of the flow trace: how many calling and called nodes in a sequence the diagram displays to and from the seed item. You can also limit the relationship types the diagram displays and filter out items by name.

  1. Choose Options > Project Options. The Project Options window opens. Click the Program Control Flow tab.
  2. In the Connections pane, select the relationship types you want to view in the diagram. Select:
    • Show GO TO to show GO TO relationships.
    • Show Performs to show PERFORMS relationships.
    • Show External Calls to show external call relationships.
    • Show Follows to show Fall Thru relationships.
    • Merge Duplicate Links to show a single relationship line rather than multiple lines when constructs are connected by identical call relationships.
  3. In the Neighborhood Size pane, use the Call Depth and Caller Depth sliders to specify the depth of the flow trace: how many calling and called nodes in a sequence, respectively, the diagram displays to and from the seed item.
    Note: If Program Control Flow loads too slowly in subgraph mode, set these options to values lower than 5.
  4. In the Paragraph Name Filters pane, select the pattern that matches the names of items you want to exclude from the diagram. The recognized patterns are listed in the Paragraph Name Filters pane. Add patterns as needed.
