Overview Pane
</h1>
<p>
This pane appears on the left hand side of the main window. It lists all
the snippets in the database. Snippets can be grouped in three ways:
by category, using the <em>Categorised</em> tab, alphabetically, using the
<em>Alphabetical</em> tab or by <a href="snippet_kinds.htm">snippet
kind</a> using the <em>Snippet Kind</em> tab.
</p>
<p>
Selecting an item in the overview pane causes detailed information about
it to appear in the <a href="detail_pane.htm">Detail Pane</a>'s
<a href="detail_information.htm">Information tab</a>. Selecting a snippet
displays a description and its source code while selecting a section
heading lists all the currently selected routines in the section along
with their descriptions.
</p>
<p>
The nodes of the tree used to display the routines can be expanded and
collapsed using the

alt="Expand toolbar button"
class="glyph"
> or
<img
src="../images/collapse.gif"
alt="Collapse toolbar button"
class="glyph"
> buttons in the title of the pane, or by using the various expand and
collapse options on the <em>View</em> menu.
