File Inspector

The File Inspector is the place to manage your data buffer. Within the File Inspector you can copy, delete, duplicate and swap data buffers.You can mark buffers as active and choose a buffer for current processing.

The table display in the File Inspector allocates a row for each buffer.  Every row contains information about the buffer like buffernumber, number of points, source, comment, etc.

Active (selected) buffers are displayed with a gray background. Switching between active and passive is simply done by clicking into the row (but outside the C,X,Y and L column, see below).  Another method for selecting is to click the buttons  Select, Unselect or Invert.

Control-Clicking to a row makes it the only one selected and  the current buffer.

Clicking the Remove button deletes all selected buffers. Clicking the Duplicate button duplicates all selected buffers.

Clicking and dragging a row over another (Û appears in the first row) swaps the two buffers, dragging between two rows  (Þ appears in the first row) moves the buffer. Dragging the row to an unused area  (ß appears in the first row) of the File Inspector duplicates it.

The Hide/Show switch changes the display mode for the current document. If Show is selected the current buffer will be plotted in black and all the other ones in light gray.

C Column
The current buffer is marked with an arrow in the C column of the File Inspector table. Clicking to a row in the C column changes the current buffer.

No Column
The No column shows the buffer number (e.g. needed for Add and Subtract)

X Column
The X column displays the number of the X axis (1 = lower X axis, 2 = upper X axis)  to which the buffer depends. Clicking inside this column toggles the X axis. (look up in the Data Grafik Inspector help text).

Y Column
The Y column displays the number of the Y axis (1 = left Y axis, 2 = right Y axis) to which the buffer depends. Clicking inside this column toggles the Y axis. (look up in the Data Grafik Inspector help text).

L Column
This column displays a bullet if the automatically generated legend for the buffer is on. Clicking inside this column toggles the legend for the buffer on/off. (look up in the Data Grafik Inspector help text).

Points Column
Displays the number of points in the buffer.

Source Column
Displays the Source (e.g. the filename) of the buffer.

Comment Column
Displays the comment for the buffer. In the field at the bottom of the File Inspector  the comment for the current file can be edited.
