Help Method

In the adapter every button and dropdown control have a tooltip. That means if you mouse over any of these controls some text will pop up with details on the control over which the mouse is hovering.

Screen Definitions and Operations

The main window, which is the biggest one of the MATLAB adapter, shows a lot of information, therefore a minimum screen resolution of 800 pixels by 600 pixels. It is possible to resize the different inner panels to accommodate the view. It does not contain any window top menu, but some operations are available through context menu or by selecting tree items in the relevant panels.

Commands and Operations

All commands in the adapter are made available visually, that means there is a button or a context menu entry in front of the command. Also, some commands are run by selecting items in the different trees the main window can display.
