All views share these common features:
- they can be active and inactive, but only one view can be active at a time,
- to activate a view, you have simply to click it (= the corresponding tab in a tabbed notebook),
- the title bar of the active view is highlighted,
- you
can maximize the view by double-clicking its title bar or by pressing
the Maximize
button, - you
can minimize the view by double-clicking its title bar or by pressing
the Minimize
button, - all views have two menus:
title bar menu containing general manipulation options:
drop-down menu - 
- usually including the sorting and filtering options applied to the entire
contents of the view, but not to a specific item shown in the view:

Step 1. Click the title bar of the necessary view.
Step 2. Drag
the view across the LyciaStudio window without releasing the mouse
button to the area where you want to put the view.
While dragging, you can see the lines which indicate where the view will be added if dropped:
Views can be arranged in the LyciaStudio window in several basic ways:
-
in the default stack (below the code editor):
-
one by one to the right from the code editor:
-
in a stack to the right from the code editor:
-
one under the other to the right from the code editor
