Docking and Pinning

The iFig Reader application features 3 sections called panes that can be manipulated in a number of ways to suit your taste. The 3 panes are highlighted below.

Any or all of these panes can assume any of the following postures.

A pane can be Docked to the main iFig Reader screen. In the figure above, the Action Pane and the Data Grid Panes are docked to the main screen and are always displayed. The Navigation Pane is Hidden.
A pane can be Hidden. In this mode, a pane will fill its normal amount of screen space ONLY when it has the focus. As soon as the pane loses focus, the pane will slide out of the way such that only its title will be displayed along the edge of the iFig Reader screen.
A pane can be Floating. In this mode, a pane is visible but is completely separated from the main iFig Reader application.

To change a panes posture, simply follow these steps.

To Dock a pane to the main iFig Reader screen when the pane is Floating, or to Float a pane that is Docked, simply double-click on the title bar of the pane.
