Docking, Un-docking or Hiding Plot Viewer Subwindows

12.7 Docking, Un-docking or Hiding Plot Viewer Subwindows

The Plot Viewer has up to four subwindows that can be docked, un-docked or hidden to maximize the visibility of the subwindow or the other subwindows. These are the Graph Control Interface, Data Console, Full Domain View, and Annotation Tracks.

Un-docking Plot Viewer Items

To un-dock a Plot Viewer subwindow, simply double-click on the Plot Viewer subwindow title bar. This will un-dock the subwindow and pop it out in a new window. This window can be minimized, resized, or maximized like any other window. Minimizing, Maximizing and Restore options are available in a right-click menu on the window title bar.

Docking Plot Viewer Subwindow

All four Plot Viewer subwindows are initially docked when the Plot Viewer is opened. To re-dock a Plot Viewer subwindow, double click on the Plot Viewer subwindow title bar. This will cause the window to be re-docked in the default location or the last location it was docked. To dock the Plot Viewer subwindow in a different location, drag the window to the desired location and release the mouse button. The subwindows are only allowed to be docked in a few limited locations.

Hiding Plot Viewer Items

To hide a Plot Viewer subwindow, either click on the X button on the Plot Viewer subwindow title bar, or right-click on the menu or tool bar and select the subwindow to hide. Sub-windows can be re-shown by right-clicking on the menu or tool bar and selecting the subwindow.
