The Main Window Toolbars
The main window has a number of toolbars, which allow you to perform many of the common
tasks. Each toolbar contains buttons for a particular kind of task.
The toolbars contain three kinds of buttons for performing common tasks:
There are five types of items on button menus, and all four types can be on the same menu (see
Figure 2.3
):
• Action—Perform an action immediately.
•
Display—Open a panel or dialog box.
• Structural unit for picking—Choose
Atoms
,
Bonds
,
Residues
,
Chains
,
Molecules
, or
Entries
, then click on an atom in the Workspace to perform the action on all the atoms in
that structural unit. The structural unit types are included as radio buttons on the menu,
and the button is highlighted to indicate that this is the action to be performed.
Action—Perform a simple task, like clearing the Workspace.
Display—Open or close a panel or open a dialog box, such as the
Project
Table
panel.
Menu—Display a
button menu. These buttons have a triangle to the right of
the button, which displays the menu. Clicking the button performs the
default action, if it has one.
