Using the HTML Help Viewer

Photometric Toolbox uses HTML to display program topics and reference information.

The HTML Help Viewer displays the selected topics alongside an integrated table of contents, index, and a full-text search feature so you can find information easily. Book icons open to reveal topic entries and sub-books. The HTML Help Viewer has the added benefit of allowing you to see the table of contents, index, or search results at the same time you are viewing a Help topic. This orients you within the Help system and allows you to see all of the other applicable Help topics at a glance.

Resize the HTML Help Viewer

The HTML Help Viewer can be resized by dragging on the Viewer edges. A double sided arrow appears when the cursor is rested over the Viewer edge. Drag the cursor to the desired location to increase or decrease the Viewer size. You may also drag the entire Viewer to another location to see PTB underneath. The HTML Help Viewer will recall its last location and size each time it is viewed.

Show/Hide the Left Pane

Hide Button

The Left Pane containing the Navigation tabs (Contents, Index, Search) is displayed with PTB by default. This pane may be hidden from view by clicking on the Hide button.

 

Show Button

When the Left Pane is hidden, the Hide button is toggled by a Show button. Clicking this button, will restore the Left Pane.

The Left Pane may also be resized by dragging its right edge (dividing it from the Main view) left or right to decrease or increase its size. The adjusted size is saved and recalled each time the HTML Help Viewer is displayed.
