Toolbars

Some of the toolbars in Samarium are briefly described here. Using the toolbars help to use Samarium in an efficient and fast manner. Not all options available in the popup menus are available in the toolbars. Some of the toolbar buttons have a drop down menu for fast access to other items. The icons in the toolbars are the same as in the popup menus, so it is easy to identify the appropriate icon whenever required. The images of the toolbars are shown enlarged in this section. These icons are shown in the tables below. They are also shown in the Popup menus and additional menu items to help in getting familiar with them.

Additional icons and items added may not be shown in this section, new items also have tool tips that appear in the status bar and can be easily recognized.
