Drag 'n Drop Functions
The fastest way to reuse/copy parts of your current workspace or to apply an existing analysis sequence to some existing window is to use the Drag 'n Drop functions in the Control Window. Below are some usage examples:
Reusing or moving part of analysis
By dragging an analysis window icon to some other target window icon in the Control Window, the complete analysis tree, starting from the dragged window icon, will be copied, and applied to the target window. If the Ctrl key is pressed, the analysis tree will be moved, otherwise it will be copied. The cursor shown during dragging will indicate the current mode by displaying "COPY" or "MOVE" text next to the dragged icon.
Here is a simple example. The starting point would be this workspace:
We perform a drag operation of the FFT window to the new Signal2:
And the result is that the copy of the analysis is applied to the Signal2:
The current drag context can be recognised on the cursor mouse’s cursor shape:
Currently dragged window and its subtree will be copied - there is no specific target to apply it to. This is only applicable to root windows (without parent).
Currently dragged window and its subtree will be copied and applied to the window icon currently under the mouse cursor.
Currently dragged window and its subtree will be moved - there is no specific target to apply it to. This is only applicable to root windows (without parent).
Currently dragged window and its subtree will be moved and applied to the window icon currently under the mouse cursor. Moved windows will retain their actual screen positions, and will only switch to using new source data according to the new position in the Control Window.
Duplicating existing analysis parts
By dragging the icon of the root window (window without parents) to the empty space in the Control Window, the copy of that window and its analysis subtree will be created.
