‘Extras’ ‘Element list’

This command opens a dialog box containing a list of all visualization elements including their number, type and position. The element number will be displayed in the element in the editor view, if the corresponding option is activated in the visualization settings ‘Extras’ ‘Settings’. The position is given according to the x and y position of the upper left (x1, y1) and the lower right (x2, y2) corner of the element.

When one or more items have been selected, the corresponding elements in the visualization are marked for visual control and if necessary the display will scroll to that section of the visualization that contains the elements.

Use the To front button to bring selected visualization elements to the front. Use the To     behind button to move them to the back.

Below the elements list there you find depending on which element is currently selected - one of the following combinations of edit fields where you can modify size and position of the element:

• If a rectangle, rounded rectangle, ellipse, bitmap, visualization, button or a meta file is currently selected, then next to the text “Rectangle (x1, y1, x2, y2)” there are four edit fields, where the actual x/y positions are shown and can be modified.
• If a line, polygon or a curve is currently selected, a table will be available showing the actual X-Position and Y-Position of each of the black squares which mark the shape of the element, as soon as it is selected. These values can be edited here.

To set the modified position values in the elements list and in the visualization, press button Set     rectangle (in case 1.) resp. Set polygon (in case 2.).

Use the Delete button to remove selected visualization elements.

Use the Undo and Redo buttons to undo or restore changes that have been made just as you would do with the commands ‘Edit’ ‘Undo’ and ‘Edit’ ‘Redo’ . In the dialog box, you can observe the changes that are being made.

Click on OK to close the dialog box and confirm the changes.

Use Configure to get the configuration dialog for the element.
