Layout

The Layout occupies the largest portion of the main screen, at the lower-right. This is the area
where system design actually occurs, with the placement & connection of Component Objects.
Component Objects represent the individual audio devices (processing blocks) within the system.
Other objects include Lines (for connecting components) and Text (for labeling the system).
Component objects can be placed into the Layout from the

Processing Library

, the

Object

Toolbar

, or the

Processing Library Menu

. A

Property Sheet

provides an editable table of attributes

regarding the Layout and its associated objects. The Layout has fixed dimensions of
16384x16384 pixels (approx. 163.75" square). Therefore, horizontal & vertical scroll bars are
used to navigate within the Layout. Zoom In/Out and a

Bird's Eye View

are also available as

navigational aids, and can be accessed from the

Layout Toolbar

or

View Menu

. The Ruler and

Grid may be turned on/off from the

Layout Toolbar

, and the background color of the Layout may

be changed from the

Format Toolbar

. Grid Settings, such as snap-to-grid, grid spacing, and

guideline spacing, are available from the
