Pick and Place Function

When you select a polygon window and then pick the

button in

the window edit panel, the window color changes from red to green, and the

Pick & Place

panel appears, as shown in Figure 5.20.

Figure 5.20 Example: Pick and Place Panel for Polygon Window

The polygon window

Pick & Place

panel contains the following data

display fields and buttons:

Vertices –– This field displays the number of vertices in the current
polygon window.

Vertex # –– This field displays the number of the last vertex to be moved
using the Move Vertex pick and place mode.

The vertices are numbered according to their positions on the default
polygon. Thus, the numbers start at #0 and increase clockwise. (Vertex
number 0 always remains fixed relative to the polygon, regardless of how
the polygon is altered subsequently.)

X Loc; Y Loc –– The

X Loc

field displays the window length (X–axis),

and the

Y Loc

field displays the window height (Y–axis), in pixels.

P&P function selections –– These circles enable you to select the
specific pick and place function.

Arrow buttons,

↑, ↓, ←, and → –– When

Move Polygon

is selected and

you pick an arrow button, the entire window moves one pixel in the
direction of the corresponding arrow.

When

Move Vertex

is selected, you must “double–click” on the vertex

whose position you want to “fine tune” before the arrow buttons can have
any effect.

Done –– When you have set the window position and size as required for
the application, pick the

button to exit the pick and place function

and return to the tool edit panel.
