Introduction

Manipulating Selections

Segments

Segments

Segments can be manipulated within a BPF.

  • Activate : to activate a segment, click somewhere between two points and move the mouse a little to have the segment highlighted.

  • Move : once a segment is selected, it can be moved like a point, with the same pointer.

  • Gradient : to change the gradient of a segment, move the mouse to display the "resize" pointer, and scroll the mouse up or down.

  • Delete : to delete a segment, press Backspace. The two corresponding points of the BPF will disappear.

Cut and Paste

Do not try to "cut" and paste a segment on another location of the BPF : this would delete the whole BPF.

Multiple Items

Multiple Selection
  • Select/Unselect:

    • to select several points or segments, Cmd click on the desired objects, or Cmd click and drag a selection,
    • to unselect one or more item, Cmd click somewhere outside the BPF.
  • Move : to move the selection vertically or horizontally, place the mouse on one of the items to display the "move" pointer. The items can then be moved alltogether.

  • Delete : to delete the selection, press Backspace.

Cropping a Selection

It is possible to keep selected items and delete the adjacent parts of a BPF.

  1. Select one or more contiguous points or segments with a Cmd click or click and drag.

  2. In the contextual menu, choose Crop Selection.

Manipulating the Whole BPF
  • To select all the items of the BPF, press Cmd + A, or choose Select All Points in the contextual menu.

  • To unselect all the items, press Shift + Cmd + A.

The selection can then only be moved, or translated vertically.

Copy/Paste, Copy Special/Paste Special

The contextual menu also has the Copy, Paste, and Paste Special menu items.

Copy/Paste

The Copy/Paste menu items of the contextual menu have the same function as Copy/Paste items of the Edit menu. They allow to copy selected points in a BPF.

Copy Special/Paste Special

These commands allow to copy the values of an instantaneous spectrum, or a fundamental frequency that is created with an analysis, and copy them, respectively, in a breakpoint filter, or in another BPF.

The Copy Special menu item is accessed via the Edit menu.

The Paste Special menu item is accessed via the BPF contextual menu.
