A status bar appears at the bottom of the pattern window to
help simplify the process of entering Hexidecimal numbers, as well as provide
additional information to help navigate patterns.
Status Bar Parts
1. Row Indicator:
As the word implies, this
simply lists the current row number your cursor is positioned at.
2. Value Indicator:
This column is very useful
for those who don't quite have a grasp on Hex numbering. This number not
only lists the current hex value of the column and position of the cursor,
but also the standard decimal numeric value. Besides this area may be
used to give other value units such as percentages and current note status.
3. Current Column Description:
This indicates
the current column your cursor is positioned in. This is usually a slightly
longer description than the Parameter name found in the
Parameter Dialog window
.
4. Hint & Ready Indicator:
As you move your
mouse over various aspects of the Aldrin interface, this indicates the function of that
icon or menu item. Otherwise, it should read its standard "Ready to
rok".
Hint:
If you are new to Hex code, use
this toolbar to gain a better understanding. When you enter hex values into Aldrin
columns, view their actual decimal values in this bar. You will quickly
catch on.
