Here are some additional considerations when marking items for deletion:
Paired Menu Items: Paired menu items occupying a single line, such as
Copy/Paste, and Previous/Next, should be deleted as a pair. Otherwise
menu items may overlap when displayed.
Range of Effect: If an item which is marked for deletion is part of a
menu which appears in more than one place, it is deleted from each menu
where it normally appears. For example, if you delete a color selection
item from the Color Selection menu for a string, the item is deleted from
any occurrence of the Color Selection menu – including Color
Selection for viewport border and background, and for Graph variables.
Other examples of menus which appear in more than one place include
the Range / Output menu, and the Threshold / Filter menu.
Menu Justification: When menu items are deleted from a menu, the
remaining items, when displayed, will be “justified,” or repositioned,
downward and to the left, as necessary, so that these remaining menu
items are contiguous.
Deletable Items: Almost any item can be deleted, including items such as
slide bar cursors (which appear when Threshold / Filter is selected, for
example), vernier arrows (used within the Pick & Place function), and
menu titles.
Non-Deletable Items: Certain menu and screen items can never be
deleted, because of the nature of their function. These items include:
– The help icon and menu-removal icon (the two icons in the upper right
corner of the monitor).
– The handles which appear on tools when Pick & Place is activated.
– The slide bar (which appears when Threshold / Filter is selected, for
example). However, the slide bar cursors can be deleted.
– The Exit box on the Main menu.
– The Runtime box on the Exit menu.
– The Goto Runmode box on the Runtime menu.
– The keyboard and calculator pad, and their keys.
