The Libraries Pane


The Libraries pane allows quick selection and editing of structures, expressions, and bookmarks.


The Libraries pane docks in the frame a la Micrsoft Visual Studio. It contains three tabs, each of which contains a tree. Each tree has a popup context menu which allows you to edit the contents. The Workspace pane replaces the separate dialogs that were used to manage structures and bookmarks in AXE 2.1 and earlier versions.

Structure Library (Str)

This shows all the structures you have defined. Clicking on one selects it into the current view. Use this tree's context menu to edit, create and delete structures.

Expression Library (Exp)

This shows all the stored expressions. Double clicking one one brings up a window in which you can edit, rename and run the expression.
If an expression has errors and can't be compiled, it will be marked with a little warning sign in the tree. If an expression has just been run, then its result and the values of the variables will be shown below it in the tree. Thus, if you simply run an expression from the context menu without bringing up the expression editor, you can still see the variables.

Bookmarks (Bmk)

This shows all the bookmarks in the current document. Clicking on one moves the view to that bookmark, and selects the bookmark's associated structure if it has one. Double clicking allows you to edit the bookmark. You can delete bookmarks from here, but there is also a toolbar button for deleting all bookmarks in one go if they are starting to pile up.

Below the current document's bookmarks, the bookmark archive is displayed. You can use the right-click menu to save the current document's bookmarks to the archive or load a new set from the archive.
