Panels
=========

Panels are the building blocks which make up a System Optimiser :ref:`tab<View Modes>`. They are toolboxes which are focussed on controlling individual elements of a loudspeaker system design.

Panels can be rearranged using :ref:`Drag & Drop<paneldrag>`, and 'popped-out' into :ref:`additional System Optimiser windows<discreet System Optimiser windows>`. New Panels can be opened using the green 'Plus' buttons in the top-right of existing ones, as well as via the :ref:`Quick Command Line<QCL>`. Not every Panel is available in every :ref:`tab<View Modes>` - the panel add menu only lists the Panels allowed in the current tab, and most Panels can only be open once per tab.
It is possible to store a desired arrangement of Panels as a :ref:`custom tab<Custom View Modes>`.

The following Panels are part of System Optimiser:
 * :ref:`3D View<3dview>`
 * :ref:`Atmosphere<atmosphere>`
 * :ref:`Venue Settings<venuesettings>`
 * :ref:`Layer Manager<layermanager>`
 * :ref:`Sideview<sideview>`
 * :ref:`Frequency Response<frequencyresponse>`
 * :ref:`SPL over Distance<sploverdistance>`
 * :ref:`Coverage<coveragestats>`
 * :ref:`Microphones<mics>`
 * :ref:`Source Manager<sourcemanager>`
 * :ref:`Control Groups<controlgroups>`
 * :ref:`Maximum SPL<maximumsplpanel>`
 * Fixed Panels in the :ref:`RIGGING tab<RiggingView>`.
