About the Workspace

In the Workspace, you can change the type of data that is displayed, as well as the way in which the view is split, enabling you to view different types of data simultaneously. To save time, you can save and reload frequently used layouts.

By default, the Workspace is above the Log and to the right of the System panel. You can hide or display it by clearing or selecting the relevant option on the View menu. In addition, you can open a new floating workspace that can be displayed on a second monitor, if required. (To do this, select View > Add Floating Workspace).

Above the Workspace, on the right of the menu bar, the View Settings provide options for changing and managing the layout of the panels and Workspace, depending on your current task. These default layouts are supplied with Tracker:

• Camera Calibration
• Capture
• Default

Save the current layout

To save your current layout, including the panels and their location and sizing:

1. From the View Settings , select Manage.

2. In the Manage View Settings dialog box, click the Save button and provide a name for your new settings file.
   By default, your new file is saved with the .View extension to the folder C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vicon\Tracker4.x\UserName\Views.
   When saved, its name is displayed in the Manage View Settings list.

Note that in the Manage View Settings dialog box, you can also open saved layout settings or delete previously saved ones.
