Panel Layout

FULLSCREEN     TEXTSCREEN     SPLITSCREEN

This section shows you how to organize the layout of panels using commands.

Note that you can also choose Select Layout… from the Window menu in the icon bar at the top. This allows you to choose a layout that you prefer. Once you have selected a layout, Logo will load that layout whenever you start up Logo.

For more about organizing your Logo screen, read the First Impressions section in the Logo manual.


FULLSCREEN

FULLSCREEN maximizes the Graphics panel, giving the turtle a larger area to move in.

When in FULLSCREEN mode, you can’t type commands for the turtle.

Only use the FULLSCREEN command in programs you write.
