Compare Graph does a comparison of two open graphs and shows the differences in a new graph. An output window will also displayed with descriptions of the differences. Possible detected differences are additions, deletions, and attribute value changes.
In the new graph, each node and transaction will be colored according to the change detected. An attribute will also be added called Compare with value set to whatever change was detected (Added, Removed, Modified, or Unchanged).
