Current Page: NeXtMidas Training Macros - Part 2 (Graphics) Panel Setup Panel Configuration (ctd.)
| Panel Configuration: To modify the configuration of a panel, simply middle-click (MMB) on the panel and select `Configure` and then `Modify`. While in "modify mode" the lines will be drawn in yellow. While in "modify mode" the lines can be moved around and (via MMB) new lines can be added. There are two other parts to a panel: HLine and VLine. These are the movable dividers between the panes. When adding a HLine or a VLine use a LMB click, otherwise you risk having multiple lines being added on top of each other. Once the lines are in place use the MMB to add the panes. Using MMB on a panel allows the title to be set and allows the graphical primitives to be attached. When done MMB on the panel and select `Configure` and then `Save`. The default save location is usually correct (i.e. same location as macro and named `<macroname>.mmp`).
X-Midas Users Take Note:
The X-Midas `LEARN` function can be used to save the relative position of various windows; when the setup is saved in NeXtMidas the relative window position is also saved. The one key difference between window position in X-Midas and NeXtMidas is that X-Midas saves window position and size in percentage-of-screen-width while NeXtMidas uses absolute pixel coordinates.
