Load a predefined frame

One of the easiest ways to create a custom layout is to load one or more predefined frame form sets. Micromine provides a variety of custom frames that you can use as the basis for your plot layouts.

You can also Create a new layout from a template. When you load a layout template, a standard combination and arrangement of frames (i.e. section + plot) are provided in one hit.

To load a predefined frame form set:

  1. If it is not already open, click on the Plot Forms button to open the Plot Forms pane.
  2. In the Plot Frames pane, a selection of frame form sets are provided under each frame type.
  3. Click on the plus (+) sign to the left of a frame type to expand the list of form sets underneath.

  1. Select a frame form set: With the mouse, simply click and drag the form set into the layout window. Alternatively, double-click to add the frame to the layout.

    2. If a frame is currently selected in the layout, the frame will be added as a child of the parent frame. See: Parent and child frames

  1. To modify the properties of the frame, double-click on the frame in the layout window.

The frames you add to the layout (and the relationships between them) are shown in the Plot Frames pane.
