| Layer Managers | Layer managers organize layers and their panels. | suite_sidebar | suite-layer-managers.html |
When you zoom into a time machine deep enough, one or more layer managers pop up, usually on the top-left corner of the screen. A time machine may have more than one timeline chart embedded and each timeline chart features a layer manager.
1. To move a layer manager to the opposite, top-right corner, left-click on the header and drag it away. Layer managers tend to self-arrange at either of these corners, so you may drop it somewhere next to its destination and let it find its place.
{% include note.html content="The order in which layer managers self-arrange is given by the order of precedence of the embedded timeline charts around the time machine node in the designer." %}
2. To roll a layer manager up or down, place the mouse pointer on top of the header and turn the wheel. When the layer manager cannot accommodate all layers in its current length, a scrolling bar appears on the right-hand side. To scroll through the layers, place the mouse pointer on top of any of the visible layers and scroll the wheel of the mouse.
3. To turn layers on and off, left-click on the layer.
-
When a layer is loading, the layer slot in the layers managers shows the progress with an orange dotted line on top of the layer's name.
-
When a layer is on, the dotted line turns green.
-
When a layer is off, there is no line.
-
When the layer can't load, the dotted line turns red.
Certain layers may feature a panel. Those which do, feature a panel button on the bottom-left corner of the layer slot in the manager.
4. To turn panels on and off, left-click on the panel button.
Panels tend to self organize on any of the four corners of the screen.
5. To move a panel to a different corner, left-click on the panel label, drag it somewhere near the preferred corner, and let it find its way to its destination.
{% include note.html content="The order in which panels self-arrange is given by the order of precedence of the layer nodes around the layer manager node in the designer." %}
6. To minimize a panel left-click on the small triangle on the right-hand side of the label. To bring it back, left-click the triangle again.
