| Views</h3> |
| <P CLASS="Para">Views support editors and provide alternative presentations or |
| navigations of the information in your Workbench. For example:</P> |
| <UL CLASS="UnorderedList"> |
| <LI CLASS="Item"> |
| The Bookmarks view displays all bookmarks in the Workbench along with the names |
| of the files with which the bookmarks are associated.</LI> |
| <LI CLASS="Item"> |
| The Navigator view displays the projects and other resources that you are working with.</LI> |
| </UL> |
| <P CLASS="Para"> |
| A view might appear by itself or stacked with other views in a tabbed notebook. </P> |

| To activate a view that is part of a tabbed notebook simply click on its tab. As we will soon discover, the Workbench |
| provides a number of quick and easy ways to configure your environment, |
| including whether the tabs are at the bottom or top of your notebooks. </P> |

| <img src="../images/Image3_tabbed.gif" alt="Two views with tabs, navigator view active" border="0" width="215" height="188"></P> |
| <P CLASS="Para">Views have two menus, the first is a menu associated with the top |
| left area of the view which allows you to manipulate the view in much the |
| same manner as the menu associated with the Workbench window.</P> |
| <P CLASS="Para" align="center"><img src="../images/Image8_view.gif" alt="Navigator view menu, top left" border="0" width="281" height="191"></P> |
| <P CLASS="Para">The second menu is accessed by clicking on the down arrow <img src="../images/Image9_viewdownarrow.gif" alt="View down arrow" border="0" width="23" height="19">. |
| The view pull-down menu typically contains operations that apply to the entire |
| contents of the view, but not to a specific item shown in the view. Operations |
| for sorting and filtering are commonly found on the view pull-down. </P> |

| <P CLASS="Para"> |
| If you decided to experiment by rearranging your Workbench, this is probably a |
| good opportunity to use the <b>Window > Reset Perspective</b> menu operation. The reset |
| operation restores the layout to its original state.</P> |
| <P CLASS="Para"> |
| You can display a view by selecting it from the <b>Window > Show View</b> |
| menu. A perspective determines the views you are likely to need and shows these on the |
| <b>Show View</b> submenu. Additional views are available by choosing |
| <b>Other...</b> at the bottom of the <b>Show View</b> submenu. As we will see later this is |
| just one of the many features that allows you to build your own custom work |
| environment. </P> |
