Using the toolbar

The toolbar implements many of same functions found in the main menu or in pop-up menus.  Hovering the mouse over a single button will display the tooltip for that button.

 


 
The New button creates a new flowchart.
 
The Open button opens a previously saved flowchart from disk.
 
The Save button saves the current flowchart to disk.

 

 The Cut, Copy, and Paste buttons all function as expected on the currently selected symbols (those currently colored red).

 
The Print button prints the current flowchart.
 
The Undo button reverts the flowchart back before the last change was made.
 

The Redo button cancels the previous undo operation.

 
The Execute to Completion button runs the entire program until it terminates.
 
The Pause button temporarily halts execution of a program until execution is resumed by the user.
 
The Stop and Reset to Beginning button halts program execution and clears the value of all variables.
 
The Step to Next Shape button executes one shape in a flowchart.
 
The slider bar on the toolbar adjusts the speed of execution of a flowchart.  Move the bar to the left to slow execution.  Move the bar to the right to speed up execution.  When the slider is positioned to the far right, Raptor will no longer highlight in green the symbol currently being executed.  This makes the execution run much faster.  To run even faster, use the view menu to turn off the display of variables in the watch window.  For fastest execution, use a compiled version of your program.

 

The drop down box on the right of the toolbar adjusts the scaling factor for the Workspace window.
