Setting the Document Information

Easik allows for the user to store such information as the sketch name, the authors of the sketch, and a short description of the sketch. Easik also automatically stores information about the creation date and the date of the last modification.

Viewing and Editing the Document Information

To view the document's current information, select Document from the menu bar. From this menu, select Document Information.

A dialog box will then be displayed containing the current information about the sketch. The sketch name, authors, and description appear as editable fields, whereas the creation date and last modification date are not editable. Should the user wish to change the former three fields, new information can be added, and changes saved by pressing the OK button.

The creation date for the document is set automatically the first time the sketch is created. The last modification date is set each time the sketch is saved, including the initial time. These dates are both formatted in the XML dateTime standard, with the format yyy-mm-ddThour:min:sec where the T indicates that the time follows.

All document information is stored in the header of the XML file associated with the sketch.
