Apollo Rel. 1.9 User's Manual
There is also the possibility to insert it via drag and drop by means of the second tree view.
Viewers are completely integrated in the layout editor: drag&drop or copy/paste one of
the objects in Viewer Sources into the layout, and the respective viewer window will be
created with an internal shortcut to the viewer application. The parameters for the viewer
then can be set via the Edit button of the dialog Window properties, see below.
To include a viewer window in a layout via drag and drop by means of the second tree view, proceed as follows:
Click on Second Tree View to open the tree view for drag&drop.
In the tree view for drag&drop, expand the node Viewer Sources. All sources defined in the configuration file
viewersources.ini are listed.
Select the desired viewer source and drag it in the tree view of the Apollo Layout editor.
When the desired layout entry is activated, release the mouse: the viewer source is inserted into this layout.
A viewer source inserted in a layout via drag&drop creates the respective viewer window
with its associated shortcut and with the source requested parameter.
Subsequently the property pages of this viewer window pops up. As default, the names are counted starting
from zero to the last window of this type. This name is used as viewer ident (check the respective option).
