  • The Desktop (Overview)
    The desktop (overview) The desktop is the main screen area that you see after you turn on your computer and log on to Windows. Like the top of an actual desk, it serves as a surface for your work. When you open programs or folders, they appear on the desktop. You can also put things on the desktop, such as files and folders, and arrange them however you want. The desktop is sometimes defined more broadly to include the taskbar and Windows Sidebar. The taskbar sits at the bottom of your screen. It shows you which programs are running and allows you to switch between them. It also contains the Start button , which you can use to access programs, folders, and computer settings. On the side of the screen, Sidebar contains small programs called gadgets. The desktop, taskbar, and Sidebar Where did my desktop go? Because programs run on top of the desktop, the desktop itself is often partially or completely hidden. But it's still there, underneath everything. To see the whole desktop without closing any of your open programs or windows, click the Show Desktop button on the taskbar. The desktop is revealed. Click the icon again to restore all of your windows to the way they were. Desktop Training Session Handout Page 1 http://ict.maxwell.syr.edu/vista/ Working with desktop icons Icons are small pictures that represent files, folders, programs, and other items. When you first start Windows, you'll see at least one icon on your desktop: the Recycle Bin (more on that later).

  • Toolbar,Sidebar and Statusbar Libreoffice (Writer)
    NIELIT Gorakhpur Course Name: O Level (1st Sem) Subject: ITTNB Topic: Toolbar,Sidebar and Statusbar Date: 21-04-20 Libreoffice [Writer] Toolbar:- The toolbar, also called bar or standard toolbar, is a row of boxes, often at the top of an application window, that control various functions of the software. The boxes often contain images that correspond with the function they control. A toolbar often provides quick access to functions that are commonly performed in the program. For example, a formatting toolbar gives us access to things like making text bold or changing its alignment, along with other common buttons. In an Internet browser, toolbars add functionality that may not come pre-installed. For example, with the Google toolbar, you can get access to exclusive Google features. To activate it, enable View > Toolbars > Standard (Single Mode) and disable View > Toolbars > Standard and View > Toolbars > Formatting. Sidebar:-The Sidebar is located on the right side of the edit views of Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw. It contains one or more panels, based on the current document context. Panels are organized into decks. A tab bar on the right side of the sidebar allows you to switch between different decks. All components contain the Properties, Styles and Formatting, Pages , Gallery, and Navigator decks. Some components have additional decks, such as Master Pages, Custom Animation, and Slide Transition for Impress; Manage Changes for Writer; and Functions for Calc. To activate the Sidebar, select View > Sidebar from the Menu bar. To hide the Sidebar, click on the gray Hide button on the left. Click on the same button to show the Sidebar again.

  • Going Further with Gephi and Tableau
    Going Further with Gephi and Tableau Exercise 3 In this exercise you will create distinct @ mention and retweet networks in Gephi. 1. Open Gephi and find the file you wish to use (probably the one used in Exercises 1 & 2). 2. Switch to the Data Laboratory tab. 3. Select the Edges table. The Edges table contains the three columns we exported from Tableau - Weight, @mention, and retweet: Weight is equal to the total connections between Source and Target, taking into account both @mentions and retweets. Gephi uses just the Weight column to analyse and visualise a network. So, we will first protect the original total weight values we exported from Tableau by duplicating them in a new column. 4. In the button bar at the bottom of the Gephi window, select Duplicate Column. 5. Click on Weight to select the column you want to duplicate. 6. Name the new column Weight (original), and click OK. The Edges table now contains a new column that duplicates Weight. 7. We can now safely reset the Weight values to zero. In the button bar at the bottom, click on Fill column with a value. 8. Select Weight. 9. Enter 0 and click OK . You’ve now reset all edge weights to zero. 10. We’ll now focus first on the retweet network. In the button bar at the bottom, click on Copy data to other columns. 11. Select retweet. 12. Choose Weight as the destination column and click OK. The Weight column now matches the value of retweet, with zeros where there were no retweets between two accounts.
