Px Editor
These options offer ways to customize the presentation and behavior characteristics of the Px Editor view.
The Px Editor options properties are shown and described in the following list:
Figure 108. Px Editor options
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Show Grid | true or false (defaults to true)
|
Sets the default condition of the Px editor grid. Select true to make the grid visible by default or select false to make the grid hidden by default. Either setting may be changed at any time using the PxEditor menu. |
| Grid Size | number (defaults to 10) | Sets the size of the grid in the Px editor. |
| Grid Color | hex number | Sets the color of the grid in the Px editor. Click in the color field to display the Color Choose window. Use the Color Choose to set the color that you want to assign to the grid. |
| Use Snap | true or false (defaults to true)
|
Sets the default condition of the Snap feature in the Px editor. Select true to make objects snap to locations when they are at a distance equal to the Snap Size. Select false to disable the snap feature. Either setting may be changed at any time from the PxEditor menu.
|
| Snap Size | number (defaults to 10) | Set an integer value in this field to define the interval between successive snaps. |
| Show Hatch | true or false (defaults to true)
|
Sets the default condition of the Px editor hatching that displays on objects on the Px editor canvas. Select true to make the hatching visible by default or select false to make the hatching hidden by default. Either setting may be changed at any time using the PxEditor menu. |
| Hatch Color | hex number | Sets the color of the hatching in the Px editor. Click in the color field to display the Color Choose window. Use the Color Chooser to set the color that you want to assign to the Px editor hatching. |
| Preserve Identities | true or false (defaults to false)
|
If set to true, this property allows you to explicitly turn on support for encoding all names and handles on a Px page.
|
| Animate Bindings | true or false (defaults to true)
|
This option, true by default, allows the Px Editor to display live binding data for widgets in Px Edit mode. If you set this option to false, then no data animation occurs in the Edit mode, although animation does occur, as expected, in View mode.
|
| Neqlize Mode | Traverse if possible (default), Traverse only, Select only |
The technique used to convert a slot path ord to a tag-based NEQL query ord. Traverse if possible: attempts to find a traverse query but falls back to a select query. Traverse only: attempts to find a traverse query only. Select only: attempts to find a select query only. For details, see About tag-based Px bindings. |
| Neqlize Excluded Relations | (empty by default) | User-entered values for relation pattern filters used to exclude relations when converting slot path Ords to traverse NEQL query Oords. |
| Use Service Excluded Relations | true (default), false |
When “true”, the user values for relation pattern filters will be appended to the TagDictionaryService values. Otherwise, the user values will be used exclusively and the TagDictionaryService values will be ignored. |
| Neqlize Excluded Tags | (empty by default) | User-entered values for tag pattern filters used to exclude tags when converting slot path ords to NEQL query ords. |
| Use Service Excluded Tags | true (default), false |
When “true”, the user values for tag pattern filters will be appended to the TagDictionaryService values. Otherwise, the user values will be used exclusively and the TagDictionaryService values will be ignored. |
