Chapter 13
The ScratchPad Application

So far, we discussed the primary application of the RichDoc framework, the BookEditor. The RichDoc framework also contains the ScratchPad application, intended for writing and managing personal notes. The user interface of the ScratchPad is quite similar to that of BookEditor, see Figure 13.1.

Figure 13.1 The ScratchPad Application

As you can see in the figure, the user interface is the same, except the upper-left pane, which does not display the structure of single document, but the structure of your personal notes.

13.1 Managing the System of Notes

The Notes Pane shows a hierarchical list of your notes. The items denoted by are groups, that contain other groups, or notes. Notes are denoted by the icon. The selected note may be denoted by the icon to indicate that it has been modified and needs saving.

If a group is denoted by the icon, it means that the group itself has an associated note. A group may also be denoted by the icon, which indicates that when it is selected, its children are collected to displayed in the editor pane as a read-only document.
