Tool Tabs

There are a number of ways you can customize the available Tool tabs.

Setting the Number of Node Columns in a Tool Tab

In the <ShakeDir>/include/nrui.h or a startup file:

gui.doBoxColumns = 8;

This sets the number of columns for the nodes in the Tool tab, which is sometimes
called the “Do Box.” Unlike the other ui. h files, this must go in <ShakeDir>/include/
nrui.h
, placed right before the call to start building the Image tab. To activate it,
uncomment the bold line in the nrui.h file:

//These control the color of text on an inactive tab
gui.tabber.tint.red = .65;
gui.tabber.tint.green = .65;
gui.tabber.tint.blue = .63;
//gui.doBoxAltFxIcons = 1;
//gui.doBoxColumns = 5;

nuiPushMenu(“Tools”);
nuiPushToolBox(“Image”);

nuiToolBoxItem(“Average”, “const char *fileName = blah
nuiToolBoxItem(“Checker”, Checker());
nuiToolBoxItem(“Color”, Color());
nuiToolBoxItem(“ColorWheel”, ColorWheel());

Using the Alternative Icons

In startup or the <ShakeDir>/include/nrui.h file:

gui.doBoxAltFxIcons = 1;
gui.doBoxColumns = 8;
