The following setup options are available:
Select... (Editor)
To select the editor to be displayed, open the Editor submenu, and select the editor or
choose "Select..." to display a pane showing icons for the available editors and click
on an icon.
"Split |" and "Split --"
You can add a view or tab to the window by splitting an existing view or tab.
• To perform a vertical split, select "Split |". This adds a new editor to the right of the
current editor.
• To perform a horizontal split, select "Split --". This adds an editor below the current
editor.
• You can also create a split view or tab by clicking its upper left corner and
dragging it to another position in the window.
This creates a copy of the view or tab at the drop position. A colored frame
indicates where it will be inserted when you drop it.
Adjusting the Size of a Split View
• To adjust the size of two split views, point the mouse at the divider between these
two, click, and drag.
If a view is split into three or more parts, these parts are resized proportionally. To
resize an individual part, hold down [Ctrl]/[Command] and drag.
Some editors have fixed default sizes for height or width. For example, the Slot Rack
can only be resized vertically but not horizontally.
Create Tab
• Select "Create Tab" to create a tab.
You can also create tabs within tabs.
You can also create tabs the following way:
• Click in the upper left corner of an existing view or tab and drag it onto another
one.
• Click the plus icon to the right of the rightmost tab and click the icon for the editor
you want to display.
If a view contains more tabs than can be displayed, arrow buttons are displayed to
navigate between the tabs.
Renaming Tabs
When you create a tab, it gets the name of the editor it displays. You can rename tabs
via the context menu.
Close
• To remove a view or a tab, select Close.
Undock
• To create a duplicate of the view or tab in a new window, select Undock.
