8. Layout Editor
Barco – Apollo – DOC-3197-2 – user's manual – Revision 08 – November 2006
_________________________________________________

Of course you may also use the respective commands from the Edit menu or from the context menu (right click
on the respective object).
When you copy a window, a layout, a shortcut (either via copy/paste or via drag&drop), the name of the copy
will automatically be set to Copy of... Copy(2) of... Copy(3) of (as with Windows Explorer).
The Tree View also depicts program shortcuts associated with the defined layout windows and the regions of the
Display Wall. As default one region is defined which covers the entire Display Wall. Multiple regions can be cre-
ated which may overlap.
The names of the viewers, however, when the viewer is taken from the Viewer sources, are built differently:
instead of copy(1) of … copy(2) of … the last character is a digit which is incremented for every viewer: frg0,
frg1, frg2…
8.4.1.1 Structure of tree view
Starting with Apollo 1.8, the tree view features an enhanced structure! This structure is
applied automatically on every object. When addressing objects via command lines it is
mandatory to use the "fullname" inlcuding the "path" and not only the name of the object.
The "directories" have to be separated with a dot.
The naming convention gets a bit more clear when looking at the screenshot below. To send commands to frg0,
the recipient has to be addressed as English.Deutsch1.Frg_Frg.frg0. The actual name is derived from the string
following the last dot (seen from left to right).
