SECTION 2. PLOT TEMPLATE VIEW
2-2
The template file feature in ID-2000 is useful for
maintaining multiple types of plot settings.
Instead of changing all of the graph and
parameter settings back and forth you can
simply save templates for the standard plot
settings you desire and just load the desired
template.
You may also start ID-2000 by specifying the
desired template file on the command line such
as:
IDWIN.EXE C:\ID2000W\MYTEMP.IDT
When you start ID-2000 Windows by clicking on
its icon in Program Manager, ID-2000 attempts
to load the template settings you used during
your last work session. After checking to make
sure all the settings are still valid ID-2000
automatically displays the Plot Template view.
You can switch back to the Plot Template view
from any of the other views by clicking on the
toolbar button or the View-Plot Template menu
item or by pressing the F3 key.
The Plot Template view is essentially a very
large dialog box with buttons, check boxes,
radio buttons, and edit boxes. All of these items
work like any other Windows application.
Normally you will use the left mouse button
when clicking on these items. However, some
items offer special functions when clicking on
them with the right mouse button. Items
utilizing both left and right buttons will be
identified throughout this manual.
Let’s take a close up look at the Plot Template
view in Figure 2-4.
