User Interface Features

Palettes

Palettes are small, independent windows populated with icons providing shortcuts to various application features. You can add items or delete items from a palette, and you can create a totally new palette. A sample palette is displayed in Figure 2.4.

Figure 2.4: Telecom Equipment Model Palette

The netWorks application provides four default palettes: Telecom, LAN, Attribute, and Plot. You display a palette using the Palettes option from the File pull-down menu. The Telecom and LAN palettes contain icons representing common equipment models used for building model networks. The Attribute palette displays icons for the family of performance attributes associated with telecom equipment models. The use of these palettes is discussed in detail in later sections of this document. Finally, the Plot palette contains icons representing the various plot graphics available for displaying data values collected during a netWorks simulation.
