DAT's Tool Windows
Tool windows are used in DAT to
display information and properties of the currently selected data
product or a component of the currently selected data product. They are
also used to manage and edit the properties of the current view, such
as pins, ROIs or the colours of the current image view. In contrast to
image or metadata views, the DAT has only a single instance of each
particular tool window. It can be shown, hidden, docked or floating.
Tool windows can also be grouped together. You can also save and reload
the current layout of tool windows and tool bars.
You will find all available tool
windows in the View/Tool Windows menu. Many tool
windows also have corresponding tool bar icons.
You can drag each tool window by
clicking and holding its title bar. The outline of the window is shown
while you are dragging around the tool window. The outline shows you
where it will be dropped if you release the mouse button.
If a tool window is docked to one side,
press the pin button in its title bar and it will switch to
the tab mode. In tab mode, the tool window collapses and on the side a
tab appears representing the window. If you move the mouse pointer over
this tab, the tool window will expand. When leaving the tool window
area, the window slides automatically away.
Note:
To switch a tabbed window back into the floating mode, press the pin
icon in the title bar in order to dock the window first. If it is
docked, you can put it into floating mode by dragging its title bar.
To group multiple tool windows in
one window you have to move the mouse pointer, while dragging one
window, on the title bar of an other tool window while holding down the
CTRL key. You will get one window with one tab for each grouped tool
window.
To remove a tool window from a group you have to drag the tab out of
the grouped window stack.
The view menu contains the entry 'Manage
Layout'. This menu consists of items to manage the current layout.
The context menu is invoked by
clicking with the right mouse button on the title bar of a tool window.
