Workspace Views

The Grid Studio workspace is built from views.

A view is a dedicated interface panel that provides access to a specific part of a project or tool within the application. Examples include editors, monitoring panels, and system tools.

Users can open multiple views and arrange them freely within the workspace to create a layout that fits their workflow.

Views can be resized, docked, stacked, or moved to different positions in the workspace.

This flexible layout system allows Grid Studio to adapt to different tasks such as system design, debugging, monitoring, or show operation.

Opening Views

New views can be opened from the View menu in the application menu.

When a view is opened, it appears as a panel inside the workspace and can be placed anywhere within the layout.

Multiple instances of certain views can also be opened at the same time.

---

Arranging Views

Views can be arranged freely inside the workspace.

Users can:

• Dock views next to each other

• Stack multiple views as tabs

• Resize views to prioritize important tools

• Move views between different parts of the workspace

This allows users to build custom workspaces depending on the task they are working on.

Types of Views

Grid Studio provides different types of views that focus on specific aspects of a project.

Some views are context-sensitive and update based on the current selection in the Project Tree.

Saving and Loading Layouts

The arrangement of views in the workspace can be saved as a layout.

Layouts allow users to store specific workspace configurations and quickly switch between them depending on the task or workflow.

Layouts can be used, for example, to create different setups for:

• Development and system design

• Interface editing

• System monitoring

• Show operation

Users can load predefined layouts or save their own custom configurations.

Saving a layout stores the current arrangement of views, including their position, size, and tab structure.
