11. Workspace

11.1. Several maps

  • Every map is its own window inside the main one. Settings → Open each map in a new window: on — every selection in the tree opens a new window and open maps are highlighted in the tree; off — the active map's window is reused, and an open chart shows the new map in the same window.
  • The Window menu: Cascade, Tile, Close, Close All, the list of open windows ("No open windows" if empty).
  • Closing a table window closes its chart too.

11.2. Moving between maps

Ctrl+PgUp / Ctrl+PgDown — the previous / next map in the tree; the ◀ / ▶ buttons on the toolbar.

11.3. Table scale

View → Zoom In Table (Ctrl++), Zoom Out Table (Ctrl+-), Fit to Window — also a button in the "Scale" group of the toolbar. Ctrl + mouse wheel or a two-finger touchpad pinch over the table zooms smoothly: spread the fingers to enlarge, pinch them together to shrink. Range 50–300 %. Settings → Adaptive table scaling fits the table when the window is resized.

11.4. Layouts

View → Layout: Editing (tree visible, identity hidden), Compare (both visible), Minimal (everything hidden). The choice is remembered.

View → Reset Panel Layout puts every panel and toolbar back in its original place — for example, when a panel was torn off the window by accident or got lost.

11.5. The chart and the baseline chart

View → Chart (Ctrl+Shift+G) shows or hides the active map's chart; whether it was open is remembered per map. A map with two axes opens on the 3D tab, a map with one axis on 1D. The chart toolbar holds the axis scale factors: any axis can be stretched up to ten times, so that a narrow map does not look like a thin strip.

Baseline chart (Ctrl+Shift+B, a button on the chart toolbar) — a semi-transparent overlay of the original shape over the current one. Available if the map has at least one changed cell; unavailable for error maps. During a comparison it shows the shape from the comparison file and is on by default on every chart; switched off during a comparison, it is on again in the next one. Outside a comparison the state is remembered per map in the project.

11.6. What is remembered per map

The project and the recovery data store only the non-default parameters for each map: table scale, transposition, precision, open chart.
