You must have included the directory where Panorama is installed in your PATH unless you are in that directory.
Type in: panorama
Panorama's MAIN menu window will appear.
Panorama is easy to use -- menus and prompts guide you each step of the way.
Use the menus to tell Panorama what you want to analyze or look at. If necessary, Panorama will then prompt you for additional choices and information through windows or dialog boxes. Pop-up or pull-down menus in each display provide access to additional capabilities.
Panorama follows Motif conventions for on-screen controls and mouse usage. Although this manual assumes that you are familiar with your Motif interface, a few important conventions are summarized here. See your Motif manual for more detailed information.
Mouse buttons
LEFT mouse button is used for selection, activation, and setting location cursor.
MIDDLE mouse button is used for moving and copying elements.
RIGHT mouse button is used for additional user interactions, including popping up menus and special dialog boxes, and for application-specific interactions.
"Click" means press and release a mouse button without moving the pointer.
"Double-click" means press a mouse button twice in rapid succession, then release it.
"Drag" means hold down a mouse button while moving the pointer.
Push buttons, radio buttons, and check buttons
Push buttons are buttons used to activate an operation.
Radio buttons indicate exclusive choices: only one of a group may be selected at once. To unselect a button, press another button in the group.
Check buttons indicate non-exclusive choices: you may select more than one. A filled square indicates that the button is selected. Click on the square again to unselect it.
Buttons which cannot be selected are grayed. This could occur if the options under button A are not available when button B is pressed.
To press a button, point at it, then click the left mouse button.
("Press," "click on," and "select" are used interchangeably in this manual.)
Pointing at a cascade button on a menu bar and pressing the left mouse button will bring up a pull-down menu. Cascade buttons may be displayed as titles in a menu bar or as menu items of an existing menu. When the cascade button is an item in an existing menu, the new menu pops up to the right of the item.
Drag the mouse until the desired element is highlighted, then release the left mouse button to select the element.
When an arrowhead to the right of an element indicates that there is a submenu, that submenu can be opened by dragging the pointer to the element.
The structure chart window has pop-up menus. Which menu pops up depends upon the position of the pointer.
To open a pop-up menu:
Hold down the right mouse button.
Drag the mouse until the desired element is highlighted, then release the right mouse button to select the element.
When an arrowhead to the right of an element indicates that there is a submenu, that submenu can be opened by dragging the pointer to the element.
To enter text into a text input area, point to that area and click the left mouse button. An I-beam symbol will show up. Type in the text at that symbol.
When you select a button on the MAIN menu, Panorama will open a selection dialog box.
To close a selection dialog box, press OK or CANCEL. Use OK to approve of the choice.
During a Panorama session, status, warnings and error messages generated during the analysis of your source code can appear at the bottom of the MAIN menu or in the MESSAGE window for each tool. The information displayed in each MESSAGE window is also directed to a log file, so you may iconize the window or move it out of the way if you like. Critical warnings or messages requiring a response will pop-up in separate dialog boxes as needed.
Because the logfiles are overwritten at the beginning of each session, you should rename any log file you wish to keep after that session is over and before starting Panorama again.
The log file is created in the directory from which Panorama is run. If write permission is denied, the log file is placed in the temporary directory specified by the environment variable PANORAMATMPDIR, typically /tmp. If PANORAMATMPDIR, is not defined, the log file is placed in your home directory.
Panorama C/C++ provides an on-line help. It can be accessed by clicking on the HELP button displayed on each window or dialog box, or by pressing the F1 key. An on-line HELP window will then pop up. Click HELP on the menu bar of the help window to get information on how to use the help system.
A QUIT dialog box will pop up.
