The Options page

Unlike the pages on the left side of the ribbon bar, you can access the Options page without having to open an experiment first.

Overview

The Options page in ANY-maze allows to you to alter many aspects of the software. Although some of the options, such as changing colours or fonts, appear to be purely cosmetic they can be extremely useful if, for example, the colour used to highlight zones doesn't show up too well on your apparatus or if the font is too small for you to read comfortably.

An important point about ANY-maze options is that they're saved on a per-user basis. This means that changes made by one user won't affect anyone else. For example, if you choose to alter the colours of your graphs and set a large font size, this won't inconvenience the other users.

Using the Options page

The Options page is divided into a number of different settings, each of which contains options related to a certain aspect of the program. To switch between the pages just click the item in the list on the left-hand side of the page - see figure 1.

All changes that you make on the options page take effect immediately. For example, if you change the font size under the Appearance settings, the options page will change to be displayed using the new font size.
