Viewing Tools

Any tool in the flow can be viewed in a display view or through the frame buffer of supported video hardware. There are several methods for viewing tools.

For more information about working with the image views, refer to the Display Views chapter in this manual.

Using Drag And Drop

Drag a tool into the views by selecting it in the flow and dragging the mouse over the view to see its image. The tool will appear to move at first but will snap back into its original location once the mouse leaves the area of the flow editor.

Using Tool Tile View Indicators

A tool displayed in one of the views will have a series of indicators displayed under its tile in the flow. One indicator is present for each available view. The indicator will turn white for the view in which that tool is displayed.

To see what view is related to which indicator, hold the mouse pointer over the indicator until an informative tooltip appears. Click on one of these indicators to toggle the display of that tool's image in the related view.

If a tool is not currently showing in any of the views, holding the mouse over the tile will make the indicators visible and available for clicking.

Using the Context Menus

View the output of a tool on one of the image views by right-clicking on the tool and selecting View On from the context menu for that tool.

Using Keyboard Shortcuts

Each image view is assigned a numeric keyboard shortcut from 1-9. Pressing that number on the keyboard will display the selected tool in the appropriate display view. The left display view is 1, the right display view is 2, and additional floating displays and hardware frame buffers are assigned numbers in sequence.
