How to use the cursel feature (as of 00-08-04)
|
|
|
|
"Cursel" means "cursor selection." There is now a mode where you can choose
|
|
between different cursors for a view. Here are the instructions as to how.
|
|
|
|
In normal mode:
|
|
Alt-C -- switches to cursel mode. I like to reconfigure this to spacebar --
|
|
much faster. Note that the view's background now shows the color of
|
|
its current cursor -- useful when there are multiple cursors on the
|
|
same cell.
|
|
Esc -- now re-attaches the standard cursors to the views before it moves
|
|
them to the home cell. When you're lost, hit Esc.
|
|
|
|
In cursel mode:
|
|
Left/Right arrow (or sf or jl): choose between cursors on the system list.
|
|
Up/Down arrow (or ec or i,): choose between cursors on the same cell as the
|
|
current cursor.
|
|
Tab or Spacebar or Esc: Select this cursor, quit cursel mode.
|
|
|
|
To get four additional cursors:
|
|
With the left view, go to "CreateCursors" on the Action list. Hit Enter.
|
|
Note that you can apply this multiple times, but it'll give you multiple
|
|
cursors of the same color.
|
|
|
|
To bind the two views together:
|
|
Go into cursel mode. Hit Left, Right, s, f, j, or l until both views have the
|
|
same background (and thus, cursor) color. Quit cursel mode.
|
|
|
|
To bind a view to a "magic cursor:"
|
|
Go to the first entry on the FlobRaster list. Make sure at least one of your
|
|
views is shows this raster. Go into cursel mode. Hit Up/Down (or e/c if you
|
|
use the left view) until the background of your view gets white: this means you
|
|
have attached the view to a cursor without an associated color. Raster cursors
|
|
don't have associated colors (at the time I'm writing this). Now quit cursel
|
|
mode. Move the cursor up and down and watch what happens. (Easiest way to get
|
|
back to normal from here is to hit Esc.)
|
|
|
|
To show very clearly how the cursing system in ZZ works:
|
|
Create the four additional cursors (see above). Edit the dimension list so that
|
|
d.cursor is on it. Cursel the golden cursor, go to the FlobRaster cell on the
|
|
system list, and go to the rightmost cell. Now cursel the violet cursor and go
|
|
to the FlobRaster cell. Make sure at least one of your views is set to the
|
|
standard vanishing raster (whose cell is between your two cursors now). Rotate
|
|
the view so that d.1 is on the X- and d.cursor on the Y-axis. Now play around
|
|
with the violet and the golden cursor, and show how the connections on d.cursor
|
|
change. |
