- SunView Panel Items
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- There are three different panel items currently used by kaos:
-
- panel button item - an item whose label is enclosed by a button-like
- oval case. Selecting a button (by clicking LEFT on the button)
- will initiate the procedure associated with that button. The
- button will turn into gray until a given task is finished.
-
- panel cycle item - an item distinguished by the presence of two
- semi-circlular arrows on top of each other. Cycle items are
- used to choose from a set of options. To the right of the
- arrows is an entry field, where a string is shown which
- represents the currently selected entry out of a predetermined
- set of possible choices. To change the current selection to the
- next entry, select the desired cycle item by clicking LEFT on
- its entry field. Clicking repeatedly on the entry field cycles
- through all the available entries. To get the full list of
- available options, hold down RIGHT on the entry field. A pop-up
- menu will appear showing all of the available choices. A
- selection from this menu can be made by dragging Drag-RIGHT to
- the desired choice. When the pointer is in the field of a
- choice, that entry is highlighted. The choice is selected by
- releasing RIGHT while the choice is highlighted.
-
- panel text item - an item of text followed by a numerical or string
- value. Text items are used to change the values of various
- parameters. To the right side of the text item is an input
- field, which shows the current parameter value. To change this
- value, select a desired text item by clicking LEFT on its input
- field and use the delete key to delete the existing value. Then
- type in a new value.
