Popup Menus for Window Management
Popup Menus for Window Managements
| Clicking on the [-] button at the top left of a window invokes the popup menu for window management: |  |
| expands the window to its full size (in the case of the dialogue and graphic areas this is taken as the entire PRIMER window, for other sub-windows the minimum size such that no scroll bars are required). | |
| collapses the window to a bar. This will be positioned where the top right -hand corner of the window was. If a window has already been maximised the option to do so will be replaced by or if minimised by . These will undo the effect of maximisation and minimisation respectively. | |
| raises the window to the front of the "stacking order", obscuring any others. | |
| lowers the window to the bottom of the stacking order, allowing other to obscure it. | |
| saves this window (and its borders) as a "bitmap" (.bmp) file. | |
| Copy->Clipboard |
For "text" windows, ie dialogue input box and listing boxes,
the complete text in the window is copied to the clipboard
On Windows platforms only other windows are saved as a bitmap image on the clipboard. (This is not feasible on X11-absed window managers, typically Unix and Linux, because there is no common protocol for exchange of images.) |
