The Inspector is a tabbed pane that appears on the right-hand side of the window, and gives you extensive control over plot-, sample- and diffraction parameters: with real-time control.
The Inspector is divided into two panes:
Format. Controls for setting the formatting of the diffraction patterns: colours, line styles, thicknesses, overlays, x- and y-offsets, scale, etc.
Parameters. Controls for changing the simulation, wavelength, particle size, strain, preferred orientation, etc.
Both the Format and Parameters Inspectors are subdivided into a series of "disclosure groups", which can be expanded or collapsed by clicking on their buttons.
Do one of the following:
Click the Inspector button in the Toolbar.
Choose: View > Layout > Show Inspector.
Move the mouse pointer towards the right-hand side of the window and pause (Mac users with force-touch trackpads may feel a slight vibration at this point). After a tiny delay, the Inspector will slide into view and will remain visible as long as the mouse pointer is over it.
Click the relevant disclosure group button to show or hide its controls.
Right-click in the Inspector and choose Expand List or Collapse List from the contextual menu.
Note: The Inspector has a fixed width and cannot be resized horizontally. CrystalDiffract will automatically hide any disclosure groups that are not relevant to the current pattern selection.
