- 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.
