A new tab opens displaying:
On the left side: A graphical claims tree depicting
the relationships between independent and dependent claims. Clicking
a claim in the tree expands any independent claims and highlights
the claim text.
On the right side:
Text for each claim. Clicking the +/- on
claim expands/collapses and dependent claim text.
Clicking claims text also highlights the

The + and – signs or the mouse scrollwheel
may be used to zoom the claims tree in and out; clicking RESET restores
the default view.
The two panels can be resized with a slider.
