The Patterns List provides access to all diffraction patterns in a window, letting you control pattern visibility, plotting order, mixture groups and selection.
Do one of the following:
Click the Patterns button in the Toolbar.
Choose: View > Layout > Show Patterns List.
Move the mouse pointer towards the left-hand side of the window and pause (Mac users with force-touch trackpads may feel a slight vibration at this point). After a tiny delay, the Patterns List will slide into view and will remain visible as long as the mouse pointer is over the list.
Do one of the following:
Click and drag one or more diffraction files from your operating system into the Patterns List.
Click the toolbar's Add button, then choose: Add Pattern from File from its popup menu.
Choose: File > Open in Same Window, then use the navigation dialog to specify the file you want to add.
Use pattern's visibility checkbox to toggle its plot state.
Do the following:
Select the patterns you wish to delete by shift-clicking on them in the Patterns List.
Choose: Delete from the Patterns List contextual menu.
Do one of the following:
Hold down the Option/Alt key, then click-and-drag the pattern to duplicate it.
Select a pattern, then choose: Duplicate from the Patterns List contextual menu.
Drag the pattern from the Patterns List, into a different CrystalDiffract window.
Do one of the following:
Click-and-drag pattern names to rearrange them.
Use the Patterns List's contextual menu to automatically sort the patterns by title, colour, visibility or kind (simulated versus observed).
Select the pattern(s) to be edited, then do one of the following:
Choose: Pattern > Colour.
Use the Colour button in the Graph group of the Format List. (If the Format list isn't visible, choose View > Layout > Show Inspector), then click the Format tab.
The Patterns list can be resized by clicking-and-dragging its right-hand edge.
