When you start up an editor you will see the so-called main window. The
2
main window of the table editors contains the following parts:
6
The menu bar located under the main window's title bar organizes most of
7
the commands and features of the editors. Some frequently used commands
8
can also be called directly, without going through a menu, by means of
9
a keystroke shortcut, called an accelerator.
13
The drawing area, also called pane or canvas, is used to create, edit
14
and delete the graphical items of your document by using the mouse. The
15
whole drawing area is larger than the main window. You can use the
16
scroll bars on the right and bottom side of the drawing area to view the
17
drawing area that requires more space than is available at any one time.
19
Document type and document name.
20
--------------------------------
21
These are two text fields above the drawing area. The document type is
22
fixed. The document name can be changed by editing the text field and
27
This is visible as a toggle above the drawing area. When the document
28
has been modified, but it is not saved yet, it is on.
32
The result of the last issued command is displayed below the drawing
33
area in an unshaded and uneditable text field.
37
In the bottom-left corner of the main window there are four arrow
38
shaped buttons by which you can move the entire document over the
39
drawing area. Amidst these four buttons there is a button labeled "C",
40
by which you can center the drawing on the first page in the drawing
45
When this toggle is on, the rows and columns of the table are
46
automatically resized to make the cells fit the text that they contain.
50
When it is on, text can be typed directly into the drawing area. When
51
it is off, text editing takes place in a text edit dialog.
55
The name of the project or working directory is visible in an editable
56
text field. You can edit this text field ended by <return> to change
57
the project directory.
61
The current scale percentage is shown in the bottom-right corner. By
62
performing the scale commands of the Scale menu this value is updated.
66
This is the button in the top-right corner. This is the logo of the
67
toolkit. When you press the button you'll see an "about window".
