OT Configuration

The OT supports a number of layout and display configurations that can be selected by the user. The most basic configuration option is that you may collapse the various panes in the main GUI window and/or change their size. Collapsing can be done via the small arrows next to the pane borders; the border themselves can be moved using the left cursor button. These changes are automatically maintained the next time you run the tool.

Additionally, using the Preferences menu a large number of OT settings can be specified, mostly to do with the OT's appearance and behaviour. Particularly useful options include the time that each tooltip is displayed for, whether a Science Goal is displayed as a summary table or a collection of all its editors, and whether the OT should display Spatial, Spectral or Forms editors by default. Options for the OT's appearance have recently been made expanded via the addition of various “flat” options for the “look and feel” of the GUI.

Other features of the Preferences menu include:

All user preferences are stored by the OT in the $HOME/.almaot directory and will be used when starting the OT.
