Info Panels
Every geometry (point set, polygon, polygon set, element set) has a
so-called Infopanel, which contains information about its geometric
properties like number of points, their positions and their
connectivity, as well as the
name of the geometry, author information and a description. The
Infopanel is also the place where you can change this information.You
get the Infopanel of
the currently active geometry via menu
-->
-->
or by pressing Ctrl-i.
Note: All the information above is stored when the geometry is saved in jvx-format. Most other file formats save only the information about geometric positions and connectivity, not the author information and description. See file formats for details.
Info Panels - Common Part
Though
every type of geometry has an Infopanel
that is a little bit
different from the Infopanel of the other types of geometries, they all
have a common part where the name of the geometry, author information
and a description can be entered.
