HALion Control Panel
11
HALion provides flexible and highly customizable window management. You can arrange
the available editors in the window, structure the window sections using tabs, and configure
several separate windows for your work. The size of each window, and window section, is
freely adjustable. This allows you to make the most of the available screen space.
Configuring the Control Panel
You can set up the control panel by determining the number of different views, that is,
window sections, and by further configuring these sections, for example, by adding tabs. For
the views and tabs, you can specify the editor that is displayed.
Setup Options
You can configure the control panel using the setup options.
For views, click the Setup Options icon in the header to open the menu that contains the
setup options.
For tabs, right-click the name of the tab to open the context menu contains the setup
options.
Split | and Split --
You can add a view or tab to the window by splitting an existing view or tab.
• To perform a vertical split, select Split |. This adds a new editor to the right
of the current editor.
• To perform a horizontal split, select Split --. This adds an editor below the
current editor.
NOTE
To create a copy of an existing view or tab, click its upper left corner and drag it to
another position in the window. A colored frame indicates the insert position.
