The iTools Style Editor makes it possible to edit your existing personal styles as well as copies of IDL System Styles. The Style Editor is shown in the following figure.
It is important to note that IDL's System Styles cannot be edited. These can, however, be copied as a new style and then edited. For information on copying styles, see Copying an Existing Style. The following section describes various editing tasks related to styles.
You can copy properties from the Current Style, My Styles, and System Styles within the iTools Style Editor and paste these into any new or existing personal style. For example:
Copy or right-clicking and selecting Copy.
Paste or right click to select Paste. Your selected property is added to your selected style.You can cut or delete properties from your personal styles but not from the Current Style or from the System Styles. For example:
| Note Deleting a property from a personal style cannot be undone. Cutting a property places the property on the clipboard and the property may then be pasted within another style. |
Multiple properties may be copied and pasted (for all styles), and cut or deleted (only for personal styles) as shown for individual properties in the previous sections. To select multiple properties for these operations:
key while clicking on any other properties you wish to select. For continuous selection, hold down the Shift key while clicking on the final property you wish to select in your group. All selected property names should appear depressed.
