2.1.1 The Data Bar
Figure 1 : The Data Bar
The bar at the left hand side of the screen is called the data bar. The data bar is split into
two sections, the tree (or folder) view at the top and the list (or data object) view at the
bottom.
The tree view is hierarchical, the hierarchy being determined by the data files that you have
imported into Polygon. The interface is similar to the standard “Windows Explorer”
application that allows you to browse your hard disk. Any node with a little “+” box next to
it can be expanded, and highlighting any node will display the data objects associated with
that particular node.
The data objects are sorted according to the context that is associated with it. In the figure
above, there are two contexts, Left and Right, and the data objects have been sorted
accordingly. In addition to this the data objects are sorted alphabetically from top to bottom.
If you select an object from the data list, you will find that you automatically select the
corresponding object from all the context columns. If you would like to select a particular
data object from one context only you have to click on the column header of your chosen
context (for example, “Left” in the figure above). This will remove the columns of the other
contexts. To get the other contexts back, simply click on the column header again.
F7 Toggles the Data Bar on/off.
