User interface

In Menu mode the user has Graphical User Interface (GUI) access to the frame's menu and toolbar. The user can also move the frame or resize it in this mode. Scroll bars will appear if the frame is reduced in size and the cube will soon become partially hidden. Reducing the frame size is not therefore recommended.

User interface with the program is via keyboard strokes and mouse movement/clicks. No access to the frame's menu and toolbar is provided while Auto mode is selected. Auto mode would usually be selected, but the infrequent requirement to change the colours of graphical items, or to change some program settings, is available only in Menu mode.

In Auto mode, and for most of the time in Menu mode, user interface with the program is provided by dialogs. Normally the dialogs will appear at the same position relative to the scroll pane origin if the user shifts or resizes the frame in Menu mode. However, the dialogs will always open with no part obscured even if that means they overlap the cube display.
