Layouts

Overview

The Layouts window offers the ability to save the current meter panel layout and the associated meter specific option states to a preset file. The Layouts preset manager can be opened by clicking on the Layout preset name display bar in the header of the Insight 2 plug-in window.

The previous and next buttons to the right of the main layout name display bar can be used to quickly cycle through the layout preset list without opening the Layout preset manager window.
