| <h1>Perspectives</h1> |
| <p>A perspective defines the initial set and layout of views in the Workbench window. One or more perspectives can |
| exist in a single Workbench window.</p> |
| <p>Perspectives can be opened in one of two ways:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p>In the same (existing) Workbench window.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>In a new Workbench window.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Perspectives define visible action sets, which can be changed to customize a perspective. A perspective that is |
| built in this manner can be saved, creating a custom perspective that can be opened again later.</p> |
| <p>The Workbench window displays one or more perspectives. Each product determines initially what default perspective |
| is displayed, in this example it is the Resource perspective. A perspective consists of views such as the Project |
| Explorer as well as editors for working with resources. More than one Workbench window can be open at any given |
| time.</p> |
| <p>So far, only the Resource perspective (shown below) has been used in this tutorial. This section will explore how |
| to open and work with other perspectives.</p> |
| <p>A perspective provides a set of functionality aimed at accomplishing a specific type of task, or working with a |
| specific type of resource.</p> |
