        Karyn is studying the leaf patterns and branching characteristics of 
        short woody species.  "The variety of data that I can record for 
        each species is great.  The Compleat Botanica should be 
        useful to anyone doing plant research."

        Q:  How do I see all plants with flowers of a particular color?
        
 A: 
      Selecting plants by color is possible in two different ways.  You can 
      chose specific colors or you can choose color groups. 
        Color groups allow 
      you to easily choose a range of colors.  Each color is defined as 
      belonging to a particular group.  When you choose to include plants 
      belonging to that color group, your resulting filter will include all 
      plants whose color matches any of the members of that group. 
      Choosing specific colors is also possible.  Just select which 
      colors to include one by one.  see the full story. For more tips see

        Q:  I need a database which will keep track of ancestry 
        and progeny of hybrids in a manner similar to Family Tree by Broderbund.
 A: 
        The Compleat Botanica allows you to track ancestry and progeny
              through the use of hyperlinks embedded in the free-form notes
              fields.  This feature allows you to make textual references
              to other specimen for any reason, not just for hybridization.  
              Although The Compleat Botanica does have a deep tree structure
              for displaying the taxonomic relationships between plant names, it
              is not quite the same as Family Tree.

        Q:  You can use the Pathfinder facility to find answers 
        to questions about the software.
 A:  You can use the Pathfinder facility to find answers to questions about the software.  
There are two basic approaches to using Pathfinder. If you
simply want to browse through the available topics, use the tree-like 
table of contents in the left-hand window pane.  Double-clicking
any item with the green index symbol 
  will display a list of related 
informational documents -- these are the items prefaced with the blue info 
symbol  .  
If you prefer to search for answers using the familiar search engine 
approach, you can type short phrases, questions, or keywords into the search 
box. Documents containing one or more of your keywords are listed in the results 
page inside the Pathfinder window. see the full story. See more "how to" articles
