• Panel Configuration:
  • We've already seen the panel a few times and have worked with controls, but we've never configured it for use with PLOT and LIST.
  • The primary parts of a panel are the Controls Section and the Panes.

  • There are two other parts to a panel: HLine and VLine. These are the movable dividers between the panes.
  • The boundaries of a pane are defined by the HLines and VLines that surround it.
• Panel Configuration Files:
  • The configuration information for a panel is usually saved in a .mmp file.
  • The .mmp file is a plain-text that can be edited by hand... this is rarely necessary.
  • It is possible to set the configuration using a table. (See the PANEL explain file for details.)

X-Midas Users Take Note:
X-Midas uses .set files to save the layout information. The .mmp files used by NeXtMidas are hand-editable ASCII files while the .set files used by X-Midas are binary.
