Tetrad Menubar


The main menu bar in Tetrad lets you manage Tetrad sessions, lets you perform some editing operations on the current session, and gives you access to the help functionality (this), among other things. It looks like this:

The function of each item in each menu is described below. If you were looking for help for popup menus for boxes, see Popup Menus.

The Session Menu


Tetrad can keep multiple sessions open at once, but only one workbench is visible at a time. "Sessions" lists all of your open sessions and lets you switch to the workbench of whichever session you want. Your sessions are automatically given a name, e.g., "Untitled1.tet" unless you have saved them with a name.


The Template Menu



In using Tetrad you will put together a sequence of boxes connected by flowchart arrows. (See How to Build a Session.) Some sequences are so commonly used, that Tetrad will insert the entire sequence for you--boxes and arrows--in the workbench all at once. For details, see Using Templates.

The Help Menu
