Example extract |
In this example, view 1 is enabled and displayed on the screen, the view control stream remains unchanged:
|

Syntax
|
view num:n?format:o?hide:o?ctrl stream:s?
|
view num:n |
View number to effect. '0' being the main base view and '1-4' being the alternate views. |
format:o |
|
hide:o |
|
ctrl stream:s |
The alternate view control stream to use for this view. |
|
A document only contains one copy of all text/style/reference streams, but Arbortext APP simply formats them multiple times, usually in different ways. Any changes made to a stream in one view will automatically be reflected in any other view where that stream is formatted. By contrast, multiple copies of a page layout (frames) are stored, one for each enabled view. An alternate view's frames can be manipulated independently of the view they were originally copied from. |
|
An alternate view layout can be regenerated at any time with the Change Status of Page(s) dialogue box, tdpstat macro or [Page/Change Page Status] menu. All manual edits to the layout will be lost. |
 |
You will usually need to regenerate alternate view layouts if you add or change commands in the control stream which are supposed to affect the initial generation of the layout. |
|
An alternate view is managed from an alternate view control stream - a text stream containing a list of special alternate view commands. All alternate view settings have defaults that will initially produce a view that is identical to the main view. Commands have to be added to the control stream to change the view. |
|
When changing the control stream, you must select Regenerate with the macro tdpstat so that it is taken into account, but all manual changes to the mark-up will be lost. |
