Splitting Drawing Window
100
An active window can be split horizontally into two panes by calling the command “WSH: Split Window
Horizontally”:
Keyboard Textual Menu Icon
“Window|Split Horizontally”
To remove the horizontal split, toggle the icon off.
To split the current window vertically into two panes, call the command “WSR: Split Window
Vertically”:
Keyboard Textual Menu Icon
“Window|Split Vertically”
To remove the vertical split, toggle the icon off.
Consequent calling the two commands splits the active window into four
panes.
When using the 3D version of the system, each call to any of the two
splitting commands brings up a dialog box on screen for specifying the type
of the drawing window to be created.
To split a window into two panes, one can also use the split boxes on the
scrollbars. The split box at the left of the horizontal scrollbar divides the
window into two panes horizontally.
To split, move the cursor to the bottom-left corner of the drawing window of the T-FLEX application. Point
the cursor at the box indicated by an arrow on the diagram below. As the cursor changes to “adjust split”
arrows, press and hold and drag rightwards to the desired location of the split. Then release the mouse
button, and in the coming up dialog box select the new window type: “2D Window” or “3D Window” and
press the [OK] button. The new window will be created on the right-hand side.
Once the window is divided into two panes horizontally, the split box disappears. The size of the panes can
be controlled using the vertical split bar. Place the cursor over the split bar. As it changes to “adjust split”
arrows, press and hold , and drag to the desired location of the split. To close a pane, drag the cursor
beyond the respective border of the drawing window.
A window can be divided vertically into two panes in the same way.
2D windows have additional buttons for dividing a window into two or
closing one of the two windows. These buttons are located on the rulers,
one on the horizontal ruler at its right end, the other on the vertical one
at the bottom.
The button on the horizontal ruler works as follows. If there is currently
a single window, then pressing the button splits the window vertically
