currently connected output device, so you can see the results of any edits
that you make to the scene right away.

Primitives toolbar

Adds primitive assets, like custom labels, drop-down lists, buttons, text
boxes and image objects to your template, control panel, and/or scenes. A
different set of primitives are used when working with the control side
(templates and control panels), than with the scene side. This means that
the toolbar switches automatically when the active window also switches
to/from a scene or template/control panel. See

“Xstudio’s primitives” on

page 3-21

for more information.

Layout toolbar

Groups and ungroups objects, and moves selected objects above or below
others. See

“Grouping and ungrouping objects on the canvas” on page 5-11

for more information.
