Windows

Most of what you do in Tinderbox takes place in two types of windows: note windows and view windows. A note window shows information about one particular note. A view window depicts some, or all, of the notes in the document; some of the document’s hierarchical structure; and possibly some of its links. There are three types of note windows:

• a text window shows the text (and images) of a single note; this is normally the currently selected note in a view window (see below).
• an Information window shows the values of all the attributes of one note.
• an HTML window shows the HTML code that would be generated if that note were to be exported to HTML.
• a Nakakoji window shows the (formatted) text that would be generated if that note were to be exported to text; Nakakoji views can actually be set to export the whole document or just a note but the window is called based on the selected note.

As at 2.4.1, there are five types of of view windows:

• Outline view windows.
• Chart view windows.
• Map view windows.
• Treemap view windows.
• Explorer view windows—an explorer window combines one of the other view types (Outline, Chart or Map only) in the left pane, with the text of the selected note being shown in the right pane.

You may keep many view windows, of whatever type, open while working in Tinderbox. They can show the same or different parts of your document.

If more than one document is open at a time, windows from each/every document my be open at the same time.

The Attributes 'window', although non-modal (i.e. you can still use the document with it open) is better thought of as a dialog with 6 panes
