The Graphic Editors
In OM certain kinds of factory icons are associated with graphic editors which are called up by double-clicking the icon in the patch window. This is particularly useful for editing musical data, since it is easire to manipulate music notation than lines of code or series of numbers. OM provides music notation editing capabilities as well as other kinds of graphic editors for other types of data.
Graphic editors generally consist of two windows: a Data Window, where data is presented, and a General Palette window, which contains tools used to manipulate the data in the Data Window. Some graphic editors only present a Data Window.
The General Palette window is “folding” in some cases; clicking the black triangle button in the upper right corner reveals or conceals additional buttons.
Note that both the Patch and Maquette windows are themselves graphic editors. Keyboard and mouse commands as well as any toolbar buttons are summarized here. For a more complete conceptual description of these windows, refer to the Chapters on Patches and Maquettes in the main section of the manual.
