An Application Window
Viewport
Each application window has a working area. The working area
for Xepr is called a viewport. Acquired spectra are displayed in a
viewport. You may have multiple viewports open at the same
time, however, only one is active at a time. The active viewport
is the one upon which operations will be performed.
Viewport
Bar
The viewport bar displays the number of the viewport. The
active viewport has a red viewport bar at the bottom and the
inactive viewports have grey bars. You activate a viewport by
clicking the viewport bar.
Title
Bar
The bar on the top of a window is the title bar. It shows the name
of the application. The color of the title bar indicates whether a
window is active or not. Moving the mouse pointer inside the
window activates that window. You can type in the window only
when it is active. By clicking and dragging the title bar, the window may be moved.
Other elements in the title bar are:
Maximize
Button
The maximize button of the application window expands it to
fill the entire screen. You may restore the window to its original
size by clicking this button again.
Minimize
Button
The minimize button of the application window shrinks the window and places it on the desktop. A click on the minimized window icon opens it up to its original size.
Control
Menu
Button
This button is located in the left top corner of the window. A single mouse click opens a drop-down menu. Consult your Linux
window manager documentation for further information regarding the commands in the menu.
Close Button
Clicking the Close button closes the application window.
The appearances of these buttons may be different depending on
which window manager you use and how it is set up.
