Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006124401A2] A directed graph can be used with a browser application. In one embodiment, the browser application can allow the editor to edit and view the edited directed graph without having to change between applications. A monitor at a client computer can display the directed graph in a format similar to what an actor will see when executing actions requested by the directed graph. In another embodiment, a virtual node can be used to represent a reconnection point for child columns of a row element within a parent column. The virtual node can be used when adding an element immediately after the row element. In still another embodiment, borders of cells within a table can be used to generate branching-out lines, child columns, and reconnecting lines for row elements. Such an embodiment can be used to display the directed graph in a user-friendly format when using a browser application.
