Working in painters
20 InfoMaker
Views are displayed in panes in the painter window. Some views are stacked in
a single pane. At the bottom of the pane there is a tab for each view in the stack.
Clicking the tab for a view pops that view to the top of the stack.
Each painter has a default layout, but you can display the views you choose in
as many panes as you want to and save the layouts you like to work with. For
some painters, all available views are included in the default layout; for others,
only a few views are included.
Each pane has:
• A title bar you can display temporarily or permanently
• A handle in the top-left corner you can use to drag the pane to a new
location
• Splitter bars between the pane and each adjacent pane
Displaying the view’s title bar
For most views a title bar does not permanently display at the top of a pane
(because it is often unnecessary). But you can display a title bar for any pane
either temporarily or permanently.
❖ To display a title bar:
1 Place the pointer on the splitter bar at the top of the pane.
The title bar displays.
2 To display the title bar permanently, click the pushpin at the left of the title
bar or select Pinned from its pop-up menu.
Click the pushpin again or select Pinned again on the pop-up menu to hide
the title bar.
After you display a title bar either temporarily or permanently, you can use the
title bar’s pop-up menu.
❖ To maximize a pane to fill the workspace:
• Select Maximize from the title bar’s pop-up menu or click the Maximize
button on the title bar.
❖ To restore a pane to its original size:
• Select Restore from the title bar’s pop-up menu or click the Restore button
on the title bar.
