Remove toolbar buttons and hide toolbars that are not in frequent use

[Nick Draper]

The following are notes taken from the 2012 Mantid Developer meeting

Get rid of black box in workspace Keep font controls but not necessarily in the default shown menus

On the File toolbar get rid of most of the buttons but

• Keep load File
• Keep load Project
• Keep manage User Directory
• PDF export appears to be broken also print appears to be broken (they will be removed anyway from the toolbar). Additional ticket to check/fix the underlying code?
• Show Analysis Results
• Scripting Window toolbar buttons

From the Edit toolbar

• Remove undo and Redo
• Remove delete Selection

For some reason, Cut is not on the Edit menu? Evaluate what should be done about this with Nick. ND: Most of our data items would not allow cut type operations anyway, so do not add this, leave it as it currently is.

• Remove the whole of the Table toolbar
• Remove the whole of the Column toolbar
• Remove the whole of the 3D Plotting toolbar

From the Plot Bar

• Remove Layer Buttons (first 3)
• Remove add and remove error bar buttons
• Remove add and remove curve buttons

From the Plot tool bar

• Turn Magnifying glass into a pan (hand) icon
• Keep the zoom in and out
• Keep the arrow and line buttons
• Keep text label draw
• Remove time stamp
• Remove image button

Flag up any buttons that don't work equally well via the menus and the toolbars with Nick. These can be dealt with by separate tickets.

Changes made by this ticket will require thorough testing prior to the next release. We will be judged very badly if users find things broken by a so-called improvement. In fact, it might be wise to open a BLOCKER ticket just to test the features fixed here.

Ticket #915 could be dealt with here.

The actions themselves still live in the ApplicationWindow, but have been removed from the edit menu and toolbar.

[Karl Palmen]

In the file toolbar I have located all the items set for removal either in the file menu or window menu, but have not found

 Import Data Files (should be in file menu)
 Print Window (should be in window menu)
 Show project Explorer (should be in view menu)

ND

• Import data files = File->Import ascii
• Print Window = File->Print
• Show Project Explorer = View->project Explorer

[Owen Arnold]

refs #6133 Remove Column Toolbars.

Should be entirely gone now. Did not remove associated actions.

Changeset: 2cf116781a8a59699fa7b1de54c9808e4d8e917e

[Karl Palmen]

I cannot find alternative means of accessing items in the Table, Column and 3D potting toolbars.

ND These all are available in menus that become visible when you have a 3Dplot or table selected, or as context menus when right clicking on a column

[Karl Palmen]

All items to be removed from the plot toolbar are available in the Graph menu.

[Karl Palmen]

I found most of the commands of the Table toolbar available by creating a table selecting one or more Y columns right clicking on the selected column headers and selecting plot in the resulting menu.

[Karl Palmen]

I haven't found any of the functionality associated with the 3D surface toolbar by right clicking a 3D surface plot (unlike table).

Moved at the code freeze for release 2.4

[Dereck Kachere]

There are a few inconsistencies between the names - including the use of capitals - of objects in toolbars and corresponding menus:

• Pointer -> Disable tools.
• Panning tool (zoom with mouse wheel) -> Zoom In/Out and Drag Canvas.
• Zoom to show all -> Rescale to Show All.
• Data reader -> Data Reader.
• Draw arrow -> Draw Arrow.
• Draw line -> Draw Line.
• Add new legend -> New Legend.

'Load Mantid project', 'Show analysis results', 'Copy selection' and 'Paste selection' should be consistent in use of capitals by using one at the beginning of each word

The 'Select Multiple Peaks' option is also only available from the toolbars section. Should 'Open a new project' be 'Create New Project'?
