<h1>Item Properties Dialog</h1>

The Item Properties dialog allows you to view specific details about a

    <a href="clustmon/front_panel">Front Panel</a>
    <a href="clustmon/fp_picture_area">graphical picture area</a>.  <p>

This dialog can be used in two modes:
<ul> 
<li> <b>Normal mode</b> - On the Front Panel, move the pointer over the
     desired component or subcomponent and select <b>Properties >> Item
     Properties...</b> or press the <b>Props</b> key.  This will cause
     the Item Properties dialog to be displayed with the item's
     properties in it.  If the dialog is already up, the dialog will
     simply be updated with the new properties. <p>
<li> <b>Follow mode</b> - Any time the pointer moves over a component
     or subcomponent on the Front Panel, this dialog will display the
     information on that item.  If the pointer moves over a blank area,
     the dialog will go blank.
</ul>

To turn on <b>Follow mode</b>, set the <b>Follow Mouse Pointer</b> toggle
button.  To turn it off, unset the togglebutton.  <p>

Other controls:

<ul>
<li> <b>Dismiss</b> - Dismisses the dialog.
<li> <b>Help...</b> - Displays the Help topic for this dialog.
</ul>
