Display windows

Each VisBio display appears in a separate window. Be default, the display itself--a black area containing your image planes surrounded by a white bounding box--is positioned on the left side of the window, while the controls for manipulating the display are positioned on the right.

The breakaway control panel

Around the area with the controls are four arrow buttons. Clicking one of these arrows moves the controls to that edge of the display window. For example, clicking the left arrow positions the controls along the left edge of the display window, with the display itself occupying the right-hand portion of the window.

Also, clicking the arrow corresponding to the edge where the controls are already positioned causes them to "break away" from the display window and float in their own separate window. To reattach the display controls, just click one of the arrow buttons again. If you close a display window, or the window containing the floating display controls, you can make it reappear by clicking the "Show" button on VisBio's main Displays panel.

Control panel areas

The control panel is divided into three sections: A vertical slider denotes each section of controls. For more information about a section, see its help topic.
