User interface

Plot and sidebar

The PeakPo user interface consists of a plot window (left) and a sidebar (right). The sidebar has controllers (toolbar, buttons, checkboxes, and inputs) for the plot. By changing the size of the PeakPo window you can adjust the size of of the plot window and the sidebar.

In addition, between the plot window and the sidebar, you may find a thin vertical line. If you grab this line and move horizontally, you can adjust the size of the side bar relative to the plot window. This is useful when you need to see entire JCPDS table. You can even remove the side bar. This can be used for presentation.
