IBM® Rational® Focal Point™ automatically
selects the best pair of elements to compare. You can override this
function by picking one or more elements; this action forces Rational Focal Point to focus on the picked
elements.
You can pick elements when you display a view or when you visualize
a chart. A blue rectangle around the icon of an element indicates
that it is picked.
When you pairwise compare elements in a view that contains one
or more picked elements, the following rules are used for selecting
pairs:
- If one element is picked, only pairs that contain the picked element
are selected.
- If two elements are picked, only those two elements can be compared.
- If three or more elements are picked, only pairs that contain
the picked elements are selected.
Note: In the Check Consistency frame, when you click Compare
These Three Elements, the three elements are picked.
