Sidebar
The Sidebar in CPillar is the vertical panel which is available at the right side of the CPillar application window. The Sidebar contains data input and analysis results in the Pillar Information panel.
Pillar Information Filter
The information which is displayed in the Sidebar Pillar Information panel can be customized with the Filter List option in the Sidebar, and choosing the desired data using the check boxes in the Pillar Information Filter dialog. The filter icon will turn from gray to blue if there is any filter applied.
Hiding / Showing the Sidebar
To hide the Sidebar (for example, to maximize the viewing area of your model on the screen):
- Click the mouse on the Show / Hide button (the narrow vertical button) at the middle of the inner edge of the Sidebar. This will hide (minimize) the Sidebar.
- To re-display the Sidebar just click this button again (it will remain visible at the edge of the CPillar application window, if the Sidebar is minimized).
Re-sizing the Sidebar
The default width of the Sidebar should always be suitable to display the buttons and other options which are available in the Sidebar. However, if you wish, you can increase or decrease the width of the Sidebar, by clicking and dragging the inner vertical edge of the Sidebar:
- If you hover the mouse cursor over the inner vertical edge of the Sidebar, the cursor will change to a left/right arrow symbol.
- When you see this symbol, you can click and drag the edge of the Sidebar to any desired width.
You should not normally need to change the width of the Sidebar. However, you may sometimes find this useful if you are trying to adjust the width of the view, for example, for screen capture purposes.
