Window Manager
When using RiverWare, you may need to open many windows. For a repeating task or activity, it is common to open the same windows and place them in the same location and size each time. There are two related utilities that can help you with this process:
• Window Layouts allow you to save the size, position, content, and status of many windows. The layout can be applied on demand to return the windows to their location and sizes. This tool allows you to save and restore window layouts, where each window layout describes a set of windows and the appearance and content of each window.
• Multi-Windows are general windows into which other RiverWare windows can be docked. The Multi-Window allows you to place windows in a fixed location in a larger window where they can then be moved together and maintain their spatial relationship to one another.
Both utilities are accessed and managed by the Window Manager. Figure 2.5 shows the layout manager for a sample model with three user defined layouts and three Multi-Windows for various purposes.
