The managers display in a docked view by default. However, they can also be displayed as floating windows. The visibility, size, and position of each manager may also be changed.
Use the View | Display
commands to show or hide the Object
Manager, Property
Manager, Script Manager,
Worksheet Manager,
and Status Bar.
A check mark indicates the manager is displayed. An empty check box indicates
the manager is closed. Alternatively, you can click the button in the title bar
of the manager to close the manager window.
Click the button to auto-hide a docked manager. The manager slides
to the side or bottom of the Grapher
main window and a tab appears with the window name. You can increase the
plot document space by minimizing the managers with the Auto
Hide feature. To hide the manager, click the
button in the upper right corner of the manager. When the manager is hidden,
place the cursor directly over the tab to display the manager again. Click
the
button to return the
manager to its docked position.
The Object Manager appears
as a tab on the side of the window.
Drag the sides of a floating plot
window, worksheet window, manager, toolbar, or menu bar to change its
size. If a window or manager is docked, its upper and lower bounds are
indicated by a or
cursor. Move the cursor to change the size.
To change the position of a docked manager, click the title bar and drag it to a new location. A thick light gray rectangle indicates that the manager is floating.
Grapher has a docking mechanism feature that allows for easy docking of managers. Left-click the title bar of a manager and drag it to a new location while holding down the left mouse button. The docking mechanism displays arrow indicators as you move the manager around the screen. When the cursor touches one of the docking indicators in the docking mechanism, a blue rectangle shows the window docking position. Release the left mouse button to allow the manager to be docked in the specified location. Double-click the title bar of a manager to switch between the docked and floating positions.
The docking mechanism makes
it easy to position managers.
To create tabbed managers:
Left-click the title bar of the manager and drag over the other manager. A docking mechanism will be displayed.
Hover the cursor over the center of the docking mechanism. The blue rectangle shows where the tabbed manager will display.
Release the mouse button.
To return to individual managers from the tabbed view:
Click on the manager's name on the tab.
Drag the tab to a new position.
Click on the manager's tab and drag the cursor
to a new position to separate the managers.
If the managers have moved or become invisible, or if they are in undesired locations, you can use the View | Display | Reset Windows command to move them back to their original locations. You must restart Grapher for the changes to take effect.
