7.3.1.3 Showing and Hiding Details
..................................

Aggregate values (i.e. records, structs, classes, and arrays) can be
shown _expanded_, that is, displaying all details, or _hidden_, that
is, displayed as `{...}'.

   To show details about an aggregate, select the aggregate by clicking
_mouse button 1_ on its name or value and click on the `Show' button.
Details are shown for the aggregate itself as well as for all contained
sub-aggregates.

   To hide details about an aggregate, select the aggregate by clicking
_mouse button 1_ on its name or value and click on the `Hide' button.

   When pressing and holding _mouse button 1_ on the `Show/Hide'
button, a menu pops up with even more alternatives:

`Show More ()'
     Shows details of all aggregates currently hidden, but not of their
     sub-aggregates.  You can invoke this item several times in a row to
     reveal more and more details of the selected aggregate.

`Show Just ()'
     Shows details of the selected aggregate, but hides all
     sub-aggregates.

`Show All ()'
     Shows all details of the selected aggregate and of its
     sub-aggregates.  This item is equivalent to the `Show' button.

`Hide ()'
     Hide all details of the selected aggregate.  This item is
     equivalent to the `Hide' button.  

   As a faster alternative, you can also press _mouse button 3_ on the
aggregate and select the appropriate menu item.

   As an even faster alternative, you can also double-click _mouse
button 1_ on a value.  If some part of the value is hidden, more details
will be shown; if the entire value is shown, double-clicking will
_hide_ the value instead.  This way, you can double-click on a value
until you get the right amount of details.

   If _all_ details of a display are hidden, the display is called
"disabled"; this is indicated by the string `(Disabled)'.

   Displays can also be disabled or enabled via a DDD command, which
you enter at the debugger prompt:

     graph disable display DISPLAYS...

disables the given displays.

     graph enable display DISPLAYS...

re-enables the given displays.

   In both commands, DISPLAYS... is either
   * a space-separated list of display numbers to disable or enable, or

   * a single display name.  If you specify a display by name, all
     displays with this name will be affected.

   Use `Edit => Undo' to undo disabling or enabling displays.
