Adding a panel

In this example, we will select Channel 1 to add the panel.

1. Select the Channel 1 node and click the Add Panel

button.

Now you can set a size for the panel – see “The Add Panel Dialog” on

page 18 for details.

2. For this tutorial, select “Inspector size” and click OK.

The main Panel Edit window will now open. The blue rectangle is the

panel edit area.

Adding a background

Now you can begin adding objects to the panel. Let’s start

with a suitable background. Backgrounds are selected

from the area to the right of the edit area.

1. Drag a background object into the blue rectangle (in

the edit area) and release the mouse button.

Once an object is selected you can adjust its size to your

liking using the resize handles.

2. Stretch this background so that it covers the entire

panel area.

All objects, both backgrounds and other, can overlap. By

right-clicking (Win)/[Ctrl]-clicking (Mac) the object you

can bring up a context menu with the items “To Front” and

“To Background”. If you select an object and then select

“To Front”, it will become the foremost object (while “To

Background” results in the opposite). This is useful when

you’re dealing with backgrounds, labels and controls shar-

ing the same panel space.

Now that the panel has a background, we can move on to

control objects.
