Interface Window Mode Toolbar

Use the Mode toolbar in the Interface window to move between Edit, Presentation, and Explore mode, switch to the Model window, and zoom in and out.

Edit mode

Click this to switch to Edit mode, which will let you change the model, edit graphs, and otherwise edit. In Edit mode, the model isn't live, but graphs and tables will display results if they're available.

Note: In Presentation mode, use the Esc key to enter Edit mode - the Mode toolbar isn't visible.

Presentation mode fullscreen

Click this to switch to Presentation mode and use the full screen. No menus or toolbars will be visible, only your interface. You can interact with the interface exactly as you would after publishing, except that PgUp and PgDn will move you to the previous and next interface pages.

Presentation mode windowed

Click this to switch to Presentation mode and use a window the same size as the current window. No menus or toolbars will be visible, only your interface. You can interact with the interface exactly as you would after publishing, except that PgUp and PgDn will move you to the previous and next interface pages.

Explore mode

Click this to switch to Explore mode. If you have the Model window open, it will also be placed in Explore mode. Stella Live will be active, and you can also interact with the interface.

Note: The most recently used Presentation or Explore mode option will be displayed in the toolbar, and clicking on it will activate it. If you want to use a different one, click on the small down arrow next to the icon, and select the mode you want.

Note: Running a model (from the menu or Run toolbar) switches you to Explore mode. To then go to Presentation mode, you'll need to click on the small down arrow next to the icon.

Zoom Control

You can zoom in and out using the commands on the Edit Menu, or with the zoom control. To activate the zoom control, click on the displayed percentage (160%, above), and the Zoom control will open:

Drag the slider on the zoom control to the desired zoom, from 20% to 1200%. As you drag it, the current zoom will be displayed above it, and the model zoom will change.
