Toolbars |
||||||||
Toolbar definitions |
||||||||
This facility was
finalized (for Windows) in version 4.1.8 but is not enabled within all
builds. Toolbars with restricted functionality are available in Mac OS X.
None are currently implemented in Linux. A
toolbar can simply be used to mask off areas of the calibrated video area or
they can be used to trigger an event. A toolbar event can be associated with
a UPDD Toolbar function or functions written in external applications. Each
toolbar can have any number of cells. The cursor does not move from its current
position when a toolbar is touched so toolbars can also be used to mask off
areas of the main display calibrated area if required. |
