Main toolbar incorporates an number of toolbar buttons as well as some toolbar groups which allow creating and opening files and programs; debugging, building, cleaning, and running applications, searching and viewing history, etc.:
Most toolbar buttons are duplicated by the commands from the menu bar or from the context menus. So, there are many ways to trigger basic actions, and you can choose the one which suits you most. In this page, we give all the links to the corresponding menu options (→) so that you can study them thoroughly and work out your own working algorithm.
Some buttons of the main toolbar are inactive and become activated when select a project, a program, or a file.
In the general table, you can find the descriptions for all toolbar buttons and toolbar groups. Toolbar groups are described in greater detail below, and you can move to them by pressing the down arrow - ↓ .
Contents of certain toolbar groups depends greatly on the opened perspective.
Here we describe the most basic options of the LyciaStudio menu available from all perspectives.
For details concerning other perspectives, please refer to their respective pages.
