<h1>Throttle Menus</h1>

<h2 id="FileMenu">File menu</h2>

|
|
|
<h3>New throttle</h3>
|
|
This menu entry allows to create a new throttle window.<br>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Open throttle...</h3>
|
|
This menu entry allows to load a Throttle window layout into the current Throttle Window; it
|
|
will load inner windows properties, and Jynstruments if any.<br>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Save current throttle</h3>
|
|
This menu entry allows to save the current Throttle window layout; it will save inner windows properties
|
|
of the current throttle, and Jynstruments if any.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>If the current throttle is linked to a locomotive that has a roster entry, this menu entry
|
|
will create (or update) a throttle file for that Roster entry in <JMRI Preferences
|
|
Folder>/throttle/ABC.xml where ABC is the Roster ID.<br>
|
|
Note that when saving a Throttle linked to a Roster Entry, function buttons customization
|
|
won't be saved in the throttle file, they will be exported to the Roster Entry (same action as
|
|
Export current throttles customization to roster in the Edit menu).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Else if the Throttle layout was loaded through a throttle file, that file will be overwriten.</li>
|
|
<li>Else the Throttle layout will be saved into a throttle file in <JMRI Preferences
|
|
Folder>/throttle/XYZ.xml where XYZ is the throttle address.<br></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Save current throttle as...</h3>
|
|
Allows to save the current Throttle window layout using any file name and path. If this
|
|
filename is not the default one for a Roster Entry, then Function Buttons customizations will
|
|
be saved in that file.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
It can particularly be used to create the default throttle layout (see <a href="ThrottlesPreferencesPane.shtml">Throttles Preferences</a>)
|
|
|
|
<h3>Open throttles layout...</h3>
|
|
This menu entry allows to open a throttle layout, a throttle layout is a set of throttle windows and the throttle lst window, it also contains
|
|
all throttles opened and adressed inside this throttle layout.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Save throttles layout...</h3>
|
|
Save a complete throttle layout. Note that this action will only save the layout, not the content of each throttle frame.
|
|
|
|
<h3>Open / Save default throttles layout</h3>
|
|
Allows to open/save a default throttle layout, it can be automatically opened on start by a startup action,
|
|
or opened from the main JMRI window, under Actions/Load default throttle layout.
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="EditMenu">Edit menu</h2>

|
|
|
|
<h3>Frame Properties</h3>
|
|
<img src="images/ThrottleWindowPreferences.png" alt="ThrottleWindowPreferences.png"><br>
|
|
Allows for editing current Throttle Window properties, particularly the Window title:<br>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Address - Automatically display the address of whatever locomotive is selected. This is
|
|
the default.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Text - Display the text that you enter in the field at the top of this window</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Text Address - Display the text you entered, followed by the selected address</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Address Text - Display the selected address, followed by the text you entered</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Roster ID - Display the selected Roster ID</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Note that if you enter text, it won't be visible unless one of the middle three modes is
|
|
selected.<br>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Export current throttles customization to roster</h3>
|
|
Push current Throttle window customizations to the Roster, in particular Function Buttons
|
|
customizations. See <a href="RostersMediaPane.shtml">Roster Functions Labels Pane.</a>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Throttle preferences</h3>
|
|
Open the see <a href="ThrottlesPreferencesPane.shtml">Throttles Preferences</a> window.
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="ViewMenu">View menu</h2>
|
|
<img src="images/ThrottlesMenu2.png" alt=""><br>
|
|
The first part of the "<strong>View</strong>" menu displays a small menu of 3 items - by
|
|
default, each with a check mark preceding the item. This corresponds to the 3 sub-windows
|
|
(Address Panel, Function Panel, & Control Panel) that are part of the throttle window.<br>
|
|
|
|
<p>As each sub-window has a minimize and close buttons, if one gets closed down in error,
|
|
this menu option allows you to restore the window again.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Another way to use this option is when using the features of the Throttles for decoders
|
|
that are <u>not</u> associated with a Locomotive (such as a lighted passenger car or caboose
|
|
or a Fred unit). In these cases, critical screen real estate can be saved by being able to
|
|
disable (or close down) the Control Panel. Be a little creative with the window resizing, and
|
|
you could have several of these custom Throttle windows in the same area as one single
|
|
complete Throttle window would take up.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Reset Function Buttons</h3>
|
|
Reset the function buttons content to default and reset their visibility.<br>
|
|
If a Roster is selected, default button content will be loaded from Roster entry,
|
|
and, if the matching preference is enabled, buttons undefined is the Roster entry
|
|
will be hidden.<br>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Get all current throttle components in bounds</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Make sure that all inner windows of the current Throttle are inside the Throttle window
|
|
bounds.</p>
