12 <h1>Perspectives available to C/C++ developers</h1> |
|
13 |
|
14 <p>A perspective is a layout of <a href="cdt_c_views.htm">views</a> (development tools) in the Workbench window. |
|
15 Each type of perspective is a combination of views, menus, and toolbars that enable you to perform a particular task. |
|
16 For example, the C/C++ perspective has views that are organized to help you develop C/C++ programs; |
|
17 the <b>Debug</b> perspective has views that enable you to debug those programs. |
|
18 </p> |
|
19 <p>To Open the C/C++ Perspective, select Window > Open Perspective > Other... and select C/C++</p> |
|
20 |
|
21 |
|
22 <div class="note"> |
|
23 <b>Selecting / Opening Views:</b> |
|
24 <ul> |
|
25 <li>You can add views to a perspective. From the menu bar choose <b>Window > Show View > Other</b> and select a new view from the <b>Show View</b> dialog.</li> |
|
26 <li>To reset the current perspective to its original layout, from the menu bar choose <b>Window > Reset Perspective</b>.</li> |
|
27 </ul> |
|
28 </div> |
|

|
30 <p>The C/C++ development tools contribute the following perspectives to the workbench: |

|
48 |
|
49 <h3>Debug perspective views</h3> |
|
50 |
|
51 <p>This perspective is tuned for debugging your C/C++ program. |

|

|
71 Eclipse also has perspectives that are tuned to other types of development: |
