Re: A92: IDEA
The number of boxes depends on how you structure your program. Remember
that only specific labels are turned into boxes. You could also make a
feature to define the "depth" of the tree to display. Furthermore, there
should be a feature to hide everything on a given branch after a certain
object. That would allow the programmer to concentrate on the branch or
branches that are being developed and ignore the ones that don't need to be
messed with.
