The Editor popup menu
Right-clicking on the draw area will bring up a popup menu with several
choices that are listed here from top to bottom:
- Save as a JPG file
- Saves an image of the editor view to file in jpeg format.
- Save as a PNG file
- Saves the image in png format.
- Upload a module
- Lets you choose a file containing the XML representation of an NCES
module. The module is then loaded and added in the editor to the
current model. The module will be added to the NCES that was under the
cursor when the popup menu was opened.
- Copy
- If the popup menu was opened above an NCES element that can be copied
then this menu item is enabled. Any NCES elements except individual arcs
can be copied. Selecting the menu item copies the element so that it can be
pasted to the draw area later with the Paste option.
- Paste
- This menu item is enabled if an NCES element has been copied with the
Copy option. Selecting it pastes the copy to the location where the
popup menu was opened if it is a valid location for the element in
question. The copy might not be an exact copy of the copied element:
for example the label may need to be changed.
- Add nail to arc
- This menu item adds a new draggable point to the arc that the popup menu
was opened on. The menu item is disabled if the popup menu was not opened on
an arc.
- Remove nail
- This menu item removes a draggable point from the arc. By removing all of
the draggable points the arc can be made a straight line between its source
and destination elements. Note that this menu item is enabled only if the
popup menu was opened on a draggable point.
