This section of GeNIe documentation reviews elements of GeNIe that form building blocks to its functional modules. We will often refer to the following terms, so we will define them briefly:
Property sheets are used to define the properties of the networks, nodes and submodels used. Each element has its own property sheet.
Menus are collections of possible actions and option switches, typically present on the top of the main program window.
Pop-up menus are menus that appear on the screen when the user right clicks on any element in GeNIe. Sometimes pop-up menus appear when clicked upon in a dialog window.
Toolbars are used for quick access to frequently used commands. All the commands found on the toolbar can be found in one of the menus.
Dialogs are usually small windows containing descriptions of features that can be interactively modified.
Many commands in GeNIe can be executed by pressing a sequence of keys. We will report shortcuts for many of the commonly used operations but will also provide a section summarizing all GeNIe shortcuts at the end of this chapter.
