Context Menu of the Numeric Editor
The numeric data editor provides several commands for marking, unmarking, and copying by means of the context menu which is displayed when the right mouse button is clicked within the table boundaries. If appropriate, the commands in the popup menu are applied to the highlighted cells of the data table. In order to highlight a range of cells, you have to left click one of the corner cells of the intended range and drag the mouse over to the opposite corner cell keeping the left mouse button down. The highlighted cells are indicated by a blue background.
Available commands:
| Mark as Type A/B |
Marks the selected range, column, or row either by markings of type A, or B. The A markings are displayed in red, the B markings in blue. If some cells are marked with both types, the color is switched to magenta (as a mixture of red and blue). |
| Unmark Type A/B |
Unmark the selected range - either markings of type A or of type B |
| Unmark All |
Unmark all elements of the data matrix (both types of markings) |
| Clear |
Reset the highlighted cells to zero values |
| Copy |
Copy the highlighted cells into the Windows clipboard. The data is copied in exponential notation with a precision of 14 decimal places. |
| Paste |
Paste the contents of the Windows clipboard into the data table. Please be aware that this command works only with data previously copied to the clipboard using the "copy" command. Data formats of external programs are not recognized. For inserting data from external programs, the command "Extract from Clipboard" schould be used. |
| Data Read-Only |
You may protect data from changing it unintentionally by activating the read-only option. |
| Extract from ClipBoard |
Analyzes any text in the Windows clipboard and extracts all numeric values pasting them to the data table. |
| Select All |
Selects all data of the data matrix. |
| Toggle Empty State |
Switches the visibility of the selected cells. Cells whose content is set invisible are not used for calculations. This way it is possible to deliberately exclude certain parts of the data matrix from calculations. |
