UI Layout

All UI elements and the panels from the “Layout” menu can be configured freely and saved as custom layouts:

• Click on a panel's headline area, e.g. “Node” and drag it to a new place. A semi-transparent frame indicates the new position.
• To add a new layout element, open it from the “Layout” menu, and drag it to a new place.

There are more options:

• A panel's content can be changed with a click on icon (1).
• The viewport can be split with icon (2) on the headline's left side.
• Icon (3) collapses a panel.
• Detach the panel with icon (4) and make it float.
• Close/remove a panel with icon (5).

If you want to change a panel's size please

• move the mouse over the panel's border – the mouse pointer changes
• hold and drag the mouse to resize the panel.

Icon Bars

There are also a few default icon bars attached. If you want to modify them please follow these steps:

• Move the mouse over the delimiter – the mouse pointer changes to a cross (see image below).
• Hold the mouse pressed and drag the icon bar to a new place. A semi-transparent frame indicates the new position.
• Icon bars can be hidden or shown: right click on the icon bar area and choose which element you want to add or remove.

Save, Load, Apply Layouts

• Layout > Save Layout
• Ideally, layouts are saved in RealFlow's default layout folder (see below).
• The default layout folder can be changed under File | RealFlow > Preferences > Layout > Layouts Folder.
• A start-up layout can be determined under File | RealFlow > Preferences > Layout > Default Layout.
• To load an external layout file go to Layout > Load Layout.
• Layouts stored in the default layout folder appear under Layout > Apply Layout.
