A user may specify the maximum length of a path from the object and the type of links that a connecting path may include. For example, if an object representing Saeen was placed on the browsing canvas and this facility was used to display all objects connected to Saeen by a path of length two or less then the objects and links shown in Figure 6.4 would be displayed. |
