Introduction
Scrolling the Workspace
The workspace can be scrolled by:
- Using the horizontal and vertical scrollbars located at the bottom and right side of the screen.
- Clicking and/or dragging to the desired location in the Explorer
- Grabbing an empty spot on the workspace and dragging it.
- Using the mouse scroll wheel when no other object has its focus (for vertical scrolling only).
Placing Objects on the Workspace
Changing "Pages"
The workspace is made up of multiple pages. You can change pages using the page controls, shown below:
Normally the page controls are displayed in the upper left corner of the screen when in tab mode, and in the bottom right corner when in full screen mode. On smaller monitors, the page controls may always appear in the bottom right corner.
- Use the left and right arrows to switch to the previous/next page
- You can also click the displayed page number and type a new page number to go to that page. (Hit enter after typing the number)
- The Main Table is page 0. The initial workspace view is page 1.
- You can only go to the next page if the current page has an object on it. In other words, the page controls will only let you go to one blank page at a time. If your project has objects on pages 1, 2, and 3, you can go to page 4. But you won't be able to go to page 5 until you create an object on page 4.
Resizing the Workspace
There is not yet any way to resize the workspace while using Rave, or to change it for an existing rave project. However you can change the workspace size for new Rave sessions by editing the preferences wswidth and wsheight. Read the main article about Rave Preferences for more information.
