[Read New File] Select Text: On/Off [-] -
You can change the status of annotations with the Select text buttons. The first, labeled On/Off, allows you to show or hide selected annotations. (This includes both annotations in your data files, as well as the ones you entered interactively.) This button has a toggling effect on selected annotations. That is, toggling once will cause a hidden annotation to show, while toggling the visible annotation will cause it to become hidden. To toggle the visibility of an annotation, click the On/Off button, and then click once on the graph near the annotation. You should see the annotation change in visibility. (To point accurately at closely-spaced annotations, remember that an annotation's sensitive spot is at the left side of the first character on its first line.) Typically, the On/Off option is used when an overwhelming number of annotations are present and therefore suppressed, but you wish to bring out a few selected ones. Consequently, this mode assumes that the suppress-annotations (-sann) option must be activated. If not, this operation it will activate -sann automatically. You may see other annotations become hidden. Simply show the desired ones by toggling them On again with this button. Conversely, toggling global annotations back-on with the front-panel's Tog Anno button will cause all annotations to be displayed again. (Of course! They're still there!). But this will detract from any modified annotations. Toggling the global annotations back-off will restore your customizations.
