Main Menu

The Main Menu Panel provides a comprehensive interface containing menu items, buttons, and combo boxes. It is context-sensitive, meaning the available controls and content adapt automatically to the active working mode.

The primary working modes are: #1 Selection/Transform, #2 Node Editing, and #3 Lettering. The specific menu items for these modes are described in detail throughout their respective chapters.

In auxiliary working modes, this panel is simplified to display only essential controls, such as the Cancel and Apply buttons, ensuring intuitive operation.
