CHAPTER 2: COMPASS OVERVIEW

Using Buttons

Buttons perform an action when pressed, perhaps selecting a channel, toggling a function, or displaying a new page. Visually, the buttons look like traditional on-screen buttons.

Buttons almost always have a label (unassigned Link buttons

are the notable exception); this label may change to indicate the status of the underlying function: clicking a “Bypassed” button will change it to “Enabled,” for instance. Also of note, the Galileo Map page has processing buttons that display a miniaturized version of the EQ plot: clicking the button takes you to the appropriate processing page.

When a button is clicked the action is performed immediately after the mouse button is released. If you move the mouse off the button, the action is canceled: the click and release must occur on the button for the action to take place.

Using Toggles

Toggles are a type of button, choosing an “on” or “off” setting for a preference. Visually, toggles look like back-lit mechanical switches, glowing when the toggle is “on.”

When a toggle is clicked the setting is changed immediately after the mouse button is released. If you move the mouse off the toggle button, the action is canceled.

Using Selectors

Two types of selectors are used in Compass. The first is a “option selector” which acts like the buttons on a automobile radio: only one station can be active at a time. The second is a “drop down” selector which acts like a menu: clicking the button displays a list of choices, one of which can be selected.

Visually, the option selector looks like a round button which glows when selected. The drop-down selector looks like a button, labeled

with the active setting, and has an arrow at the right end indicating other choices are available for selection.
