Mixed: Empty elements without siblings are compacted.

Hierarchical: All elements are shown.

Flat: Only the elements containing elements of other types are shown.

The Exploration view shows some horizontal grey lines. These are the level lines. Non-cyclic elements on the same level are not depending on each other. Cyclic elements of a cycle group are on the same level. Those elements have a red shade rectangle background. Different red shades are used for different cycle groups (relative to their parent) as well as a cycle index property is shown in the Properties view. Nodes belonging to the same cycle group show the same cycle group index. To differentiate non-cyclic and cyclic elements on the same level an additional red line is shown dividing the level.

If an element has children, it will show a collapse/expand figure (+/-). If the background of this figure is darker it has more children.

If not all child elements of an element are shown due to a focus the element is marked with a grey triangle. If not all outgoing dependencies of an element are shown the element is marked with a light grey triangle. If both is true the triangle will show one half in grey and one half in light grey.

Selected elements are highlighted with a grey background. Dependent and using elements have a light grey background.

Different blue shaded boxes are used to better distinguish the nesting structure.

Non Artifacts Only: only non artifacts are levelized and artifacts are shown in their definition order without highlighting potential cycles involving artifacts.

All: All elements are levelized, therefore levelization is applied also to artifacts, highlighting also potential cycles involving artifacts.
