Bulldozer: Attribute Form Display Area Help!
General
The attribute form display area contains the attributes for the element being
edited. An element is edited by choosing the modify button from the menu bar
edit menu
, choosing the modify button from the
dispay area popup
or by choosing a selection in the
Attribute Form edit menu
from the
Attribute Form menu bar
.
In general there are three types of attribute editing widgets allowing for
three types of attribute data:
- Numeric or string data is entered into a
Text Verify Widget
.
- Option data is entered using a option menu.
- Binary and attributes with two options are entered using a radio box.
Whenever an attribute is entered into it's corresponding interface 'widget' the
corresponding elements attribute is immediately updated.
Functionality
The attributes within the attribute edit form will disappear when the cursor
moves out of the scope of the element being edited. For instance. If the
cursor is on an image and the attributes of the image are being edited and the
user clicks on a separator the attributes within the attribute editor will
disappear. However if the cursor os within bold text and the cursor is moved
within that same bold text the attributes will remain in the editor.
