6.0 Layout

Overview

This menu item offers six choices for the layout of MeshTV's windows: 1x1 , 2x1 , 2x2 , 2x4 , 3x3 , and 4x4 . These options will place the windows on an XY grid, so the window layout will be 1x1 (one window), 2x1 (two windows), 2x2 (four windows), 2x4 (eight windows), 3x3 (nine windows) or 4x4 (sixteen windows). The windows are sized to fit correctly onto the screen. If you have too few windows, extra windows are created to fill in. (For example, if you have three windows, and select 2x2 , another window is created.) If you have more windows than are needed for display, the extra windows are iconified. (For example, if you have sixteen windows, and then select 3x3 , the remaining seven are iconified.)

The dotted line at the top of the menu denotes a "tear-off" menu, which means that when you click on the dotted line, the menu will "tear off" and stay posted until you close the window or press the ESC button while the window is selected.

1x1

This layout choice places one visualization window on the screen. Other existing opened windows are iconified. This layout option produces the largest size windows. It is also the default when the Main window is vertically placed.

2x1

This layout choice places two visualization windows on the screen in a 2x1 grid. This layout works particularly well when the MeshTV Main window is in a horizontal layout, though it can also be used with a vertical layout. These windows are smaller than the 1x1 layout's windows and larger than the 3x3. If only one window is open when this option is chosen, another window is added. If there are more than two, the additional windows are iconified. It is also the default when the Main window is horizontally placed.

2x2

This layout choice places four visualization windows on the screen in a 2x2 grid. These windows are smaller than the 1x1 layout's windows and larger than the 3x3. If there are fewer than four windows when this option is chosen, windows are added until four exist. If there are more than four, the additional windows are iconified.

2x4

This layout choice places eight visualization windows on the screen in a 2x4 grid. This layout works particularly well when the MeshTV Main window is in a horizontal layout, though it can also be used with a vertical layout. These windows are smaller than the 2x1 or 2x2 layout's windows and larger than the 3x3. If there are fewer than eight windows when this option is chosen, windows are added until eight exist. If there are more than eight, the additional windows are iconified.

3x3

This layout choice places nine visualization windows on the screen in a 3x3 grid. These windows are the third largest windows. If there are fewer than nine windows when this option is chosen, windows are added till nine exist. If there are more than nine, the additional windows are iconified.

4x4

This layout choice places sixteen visualization windows on the screen in a 4x4 grid. These windows are the smallest windows. If there are fewer than sixteen windows when this option is chosen, windows are added till sixteen exist. MeshTV supports a maximum of sixteen windows.
