Changing the general characteristics of a page.
The general characteristics of a page include its title, background
color, the size of the font used to display labels and register
display fields, the color of the warning borders to display around
out-of-range register fields, the default column width, and the
optional board name prefix to use with groups of equivalent boards.
All of these characteristics can be configured by pulling down the
page Configure menu, and selecting "Configure
Page". This brings up the page configuration dialog, with the
following text entry fields:
- Page Title
The title that you provide here is shown both in the title bar of the
page, and as the name of the icon of the page when it is in an
iconized state.
- Page color
This sets the background color of the
page. This color is visible in empty cells, and is used as the
default background color for new labels and register display
fields.
- Font size
This sets the size of the font used in all of the labels and
register display fields of the page.
- Warning color
When a displayed register value is outside of a specified range,
and warnings are enabled for the
corresponding field, a border is drawn around the field with this
color. If no color is specified, red is used.
- Default Column Width
Whenever a new column is created, this value sets its initial
width. The width is specified as a multiple of the width of an
average character, and thus changes in physical size depending on
which font has been chosen.
- Switch between numbered boards who's names all start with this
prefix
This allows a single page to multiplex between displaying the same
registers of a number of equivalent boards. To disable this
feature, leave the field blank. Type "help
page/group" for more details.
