You may want to apply a filter or renderer to all ontology editor panels all the time. OBO-Edit allows you to create global filters and global renderers using the Global Filter Plugin.
Global filters and renderers are applied to every ontology editor panel automatically. Global filters and renderers do not appear in the ontology editor panel filter menu, and they are not removed by the "Remove all renderers and filters" command.
To edit the global filters, choose The Global Filter Plugin from the Plugins menu:
There are two tabs at the top of the plugin. The "Filters" tab contains the controls for editing global filter settings. The "Renderers" tab contains controls for editing global renderer settings.
To edit global filters, click the "Filters" tab. The screenshot above shows the "Filter" tab. The filters tab consists of two lists of filters. The "Link Filters" list contains all the global link filters, and the "Term filters" list contains all the global term filters.
To edit a filter, select it by clicking its name in the list. A filter designer will appear where you can edit the filter. The filter designers are always locked in "Compound filtering" mode, and it is not possible to change between "Link filtering" and "Term filtering".
To add a filter, click the "Add" button under the filter list. A new filter will be created that can be edited as described above.
To delete a filter, select the filter to delete and click the "Del" button under the filter list.
To edit global renderers, click the "Renderers" tab:
The renderers tab consists of two lists of renderers. The "Term Renderers" list contains all the global term renderers, and the "Link Renderers" list contains all the default link renderers.
To edit a renderer, select it by clicking its name in the list. A renderer designer will appear where you can edit the renderer. The renderer designers are always locked in "Compound filtering" and "Rendering controls" mode, and it is not possible to change between "Link filtering" and "Term filtering". Note that between the renderer list and the renderer designer, the interface may need a lot of space on the screen for all the controls to be visible. Resize the Global Renderer Plugin if necessary to see all the controls.
To add a renderer, click the "Add" button under the filter list. A new renderer will be created that can be edited as described above.
To delete a renderer, select the renderer to delete and click the "Del" button under the renderer list.
When OBO-Edit is first installed, the following global filters and renderers are installed by default (note that these default filters and renderers are described in terms of their effects. The actual filter definitions tend to be more complex than these descriptions):
