4.7 Draw Window

When you first call up PaPCo you only get the main widget and no Draw Window: this is created one you have composed a plot, selected a time range and pressed the Draw button. From now on you have the choice of either pressing Draw, which will redraw the plot into the current draw window, or press Draw New, which will keep the existing Draw Window, deactivate it, and open a new one, which then becomes the current draw window. This is useful for comparing plots on-screen.

NOTE: Any mouse action or time selection or printing command only affects the active (last) draw window!

In the title of the Draw Window is a running number: the highest number is always the one of the active Draw Window. An example of a draw window is shown in Figure 4.5.

Below the plot area are two information labels which contain the current Product file name and Annotation file name, if set.

The Action Buttons on the Draw Window are described below. This information can also be accessed through the active Draw Window's Help button.

4.7.1 Draw, Print, Output, Back

Same as the corresponding Action Buttons Button in the PaPCo main window. See Section 4.5.

4.7.2 Help

Displays this help window for this Draw Window.

4.7.3 Delete old Draw Windows

Destroys all inactive PaPCo Draw Windows.

4.7.4 Close all Draw Windows

Closes all the PaPCo Draw-windows. A new Draw Window is created again when the Draw button is next pressed in the PaPCo main window.

4.7.5 Cancel? (entry field)

If you wish to interrupt the current draw cycle change the Cancel entry field to anything other then ``N'' by moving the mouse to the field and editing it. The PaPCo draw loop will then terminate AFTER the current panel has been drawn.
