The Perspectives Layout preferences panel is opened from menu .
Oxygen has a large number of helper
views that can be arranged in different layouts. Use this preferences panel to configure the
layout.
The Perspectives Layout Preferences Panel
The following preferences are available:
- Use default layout - Selected by default. It indicates that the
editor must use the default layout for all the perspectives. Any modification of this layout
(for instance closing / showing views or a new view arrangement) is saved when the program
exits and is reloaded at the next start up.
- Use fixed layout - Check this option when you want the editor to
always start with a certain layout. Modifications of the selected layout are lost when the
program exits. There are two kinds of fixed layout:
- Predefined - Oxygen has several predefined
layouts to choose from, depending on the type of work you intend to do:
- Advanced - All the views are visible.
- Basic - Just the Project view and
the Outline view are visible. This is recommended when you
edit XML content and you need screen space.
- Intermediate - The Project,
Outline, Attributes and
Model views are visible.
- Schema development - The Project,
Outline, Attributes,
Model views and Schema Components
are visible.
- XQuery development - Only the
Project view and the editing area are visible.
- XSLT development - The Project,
Outline, Attributes,
Model and XSLT Input views are
visible.
- Specified - You can choose an existing layout file from disk.
In order to create such a file, you can arrange the views in the desired order and then
save it with the action from menu
