where it normally appears, for both toolsets. For example, if you delete a
color selection item from the Color Selection menu for a string, the item
is deleted from any occurrence of the Color Selection menu – including
Color Selection for viewport border and background, and for Graph
variables. Other examples of menus which appear in more than one place
include the Range / Output menu, and the Threshold / Filter menu.
Menu Justification: When menu items are deleted from a menu, the
remaining items, when displayed, will be “justified,” or repositioned,
downward and to the left, as necessary, so that these remaining menu
items are contiguous.
Deletable Items: Almost any item can be deleted, including items such as
slide bar cursors (which appear when Threshold / Filter is selected, for
example), vernier arrows (used within the Pick & Place function), and
menu titles.
Non–Deletable Items: Certain menu and screen items can never be
deleted, because of the nature of their function. These items include:
– The help icon and menu–hide icon (the two icons in the upper right
corner of the monitor).
– The handles which appear on tools when Pick & Place is activated.
– The slide bar (which appears when Threshold / Filter is selected, for
example). However, the slide bar cursors can be deleted.
– The Exit box on the Main menu.
– The Runtime box on the Exit menu.
– The Goto Runmode box on the Runtime menu.
– The keyboard and calculator pad, and their keys.
