Managing Windows
Each MSC Editor window shows one MSC, but you may open new windows on a diagram and close windows that are no longer needed.
A newly opened window is a mirror image of the window from which the selection to open a window was made. Multiple windows may be opened and are all identical to the first. Any subsequent modifications made will reflect the same in either the original window, or any of the newly opened window(s). This option affords the possibility of viewing in more than one window, and can ideally be used in conjunction with the scaling factor when looking at a detailed MSC.
Opening and Closing Windows
You open and close windows with the New Window and Close Window menu choices in the Windows menu. If you close the last opened window, the editor will exit.
Hiding and Showing Parts of the Window
The component parts of the MSC Editor window can be shown or hidden as required. On UNIX, if they are hidden, it increases the drawing area available to be used in the creation or modification of a diagram.
To change the options for hiding and showing parts of the window, select Window Options from the View menu. These options can also be set as preferences, and some of them are available from quick-buttons:
