Change the way views are displayed

View Manager allows the user to determine how the selected views will be displayed.

A tile effect will split the graphics area to arrange the selected views so that they are all visible on the desktop at once. This option requires that each view be resized according to the total number of views displayed at one time. For example, if three views are tiled, each view will be resized to one-third the original size. When the Tile option is selected, the views are automatically resized when the graphics window is resized or changed. Tiled views will be resized to accommodate the lesser width of the graphics window.

A cascade effect will create all views the same size and overlap them slightly so that the upper portion of each view is showing. Only one view is clearly visible at any one time unless the views are resized. When the Cascade option is selected, the views are not resized automatically when the graphics window is resized or changed. Select this option when you want to manually resize the views from their default size.

1. From the View menu choose View Manager, or from the Common toolbar select .
2. Highlight the views to be displayed on the desktop. By default, AGi32 will highlight the last selections.
3. Under View Display, select Tiled or Cascade.
• Whenever the View Display type is change, AGi32 selects Resize Views by default.
• When Resize Views is unchecked, all current views will remain in their current location and size. This prevents AGi32 from resizing your views when new views are added. Resizing views may be undesirable when working with Viewports in Reports (e.g. when the Display option is selected).
4. Click Ok.
