Class Layout
The user can configure which classes are displayed in the main window
for immediate selection. The configuration file wspec/layout.wrm
holds this information in simple text format. The user may decide
which classes he/she most frequently accesses and arrange them into
groups etc..
The "Class Layout Editor" is effectivly a graphical editor for this
configuration. Click on the "Set Selection" button in the main window
to start the editor.
In the yellow area the classes are displayed in the same layout
as in the main class window. You can click on any class-name and drag it
to a new position in the text grid.
Below the line are the remaining visible classes which can also be
used for the default. Most often these left-over classes
belong to the system, but they may be of interest to some users.
The classes "KeySet" and "Model" are usually included in the class
layout.
You can pick up one of these classes and drag it into the yellow area
to position it in the layout.
To remove a class from the layout, just drag its name below the
line into the area of the remaining classes.
Menu items:
