The View Menu

The View Menu

The view menu allows you to enable and disable the various tool-bars and panels. It also provides the ability to save and restore GUI layouts.

The following toolbars can be enabled/disabled via this menu:

Saving and Restoring the GUI Layout

If you have a preferred layout, then it is possible to save this for later use via the View menu. It is even possible to have multiple GUI layouts, and load them at will. For example, you may prefer to have the control panels on the left hand side of the screen instead of their default locations on the right. These options will allow you to save that layout, so that you do not need to drag the panels around every time.

To create and save a GUI layout, first move the toolbars and/or panels to their preferred locations. You can also disable any unwanted toolbars/panels using the other menu items in the View menu. Next, select the “Save GUI Layout” menu item. From now on, the application will load and use this layout by default.

Alternatively, “Save GUI Layout As” will save the layout to a file whose name is selected by you. In this case, it will not be used as the default layout, and can be retrieved using the “Load GUI Layout” option. Finally, the GUI layout can be reset to the last loaded layout by selecting “Reload GUI Layout”.

In summary, the GUI layout menu items are:

  • Load GUI Layout – Load a GUI layout from a file
  • Save GUI Layout – Save the current GUI layout to be the new default layout (i.e., the layout that is loaded when the program is started)
  • Save GUI Layout As – Save the current GUI layout to a user selected file
  • Reload GUI Layout – Resets the GUI layout to that from the last loaded layout file. This is useful if mistakes are made
  • Reset GUI Layout – Resets the GUI layout to the factory default

Resetting the GUI to the "Factory Default" Layout

At any point in time, the GUI layout can be reset back to the “factory default” by selecting the “Reset GUI Layout” item from within the View menu.

HINT: The default GUI layout can be restored to the “factory default” setting by first clicking on the “Reset GUI Layout” item, and then selecting “Save GUI Layout”.
