Getting Started with Profile Options
DESUMA allows for a variety of user customizable options. These options
are maintained as a set called a profile, to more easily facilitate changing
multiple display options at once. To configure these options, from the Edit
menu(On OS X, this option is under the Application Menu), choose the "Preferences" item. A DESUMA Settings window
will appear.
Across the top of the Settings window are four tabs to organize the various options.

- The Profile tab maintains general information such as:
- the working directory
- the Default view
- new workspace on startup
- printing with footer and page numbers
- plugins directory
- The Graph tab maintains information about the graph itself, such as:
- background color
- layout style
- whether the graph grid points should be visible, and display options if so
- snap-to-grid functionality
- antialiasing
- auto-layout
- The State tab maintains information about the states, such as:
- state background and border color for regular, marked, and initial states
- auto-resizing of states based on the length of the state name
- selection color for selected graph elements
- The Transition tab maintains information about the transitions, such as:
- transition color and thickness
- whether transitions are bendable, or their labels moveable
- transition style
