2.4 Icons on the Taskbar
Immediately underneath the menu list is the TargetPro taskbar of icons. They
are shown in Figures 5 and 6. Several of the icons have to do with operating the
cursor, or trackball pointer in the program. Additional icons are associated with
the Measurement Tool and the Zoom Tool. Tool Tips are attached to each icon,
and each icon has a menu equivalent in the Tools menu.
