Tool Bar
The tool bar, illustrated in the following figure, is a handy shortcut for invoking several of the more frequently used
menu commands. Pressing a tool bar button invokes the corresponding menu selection. For example, pressing the bus
station button invokes the same system response as selecting the Display|Bus Stations menu command.
The following text describes the functionality of each button on the tool bar. Buttons have three possible states:
"unpressed", "pressed" or "disabled". Please note, "pressed" implies that the button is in the down position and
transitions to the up (unpressed) position when clicked. The term "unpressed" indicates the button is in the up position
and transitions to the down (pressed) position when clicked. The term "disabled" indicates the button is not active, i.e.,
no action occurs when you click the button. A disabled button appears grayed out when the type of object it represents is
not available in the simulation. For example, if no parking zones have been specified in the simulation input file then the
Parking Zone button is disabled.
To increase the viewing area of the Network window you can hide the tool bar, legend, and status bar by using the
Show/Hide Tool Bar, Show/Hide Legend, and Show/Hide Status bar items under the Window pull-down menu.
