Pro Tools 101_ An Introduction to Pro Tools 11 ( PDFDrive )

The Tile command arranges open windows in a tiled pattern on the screen,
resizing each window as needed to fit. Two other commands, Tile Vertical
and Tile Horizontal, resize windows uniformly, creating evenly distributed
patterns. The Tile Vertical command arranges windows as narrow vertical
strips, side by side; whereas the Tile Horizontal command arranges windows
as long horizontal strips, stacked top to bottom. These two commands are not
available when too many windows are open to display at once.
The Cascade command arranges open windows in a cascading pattern on the
screen. The windows are overlaid on top of one another and resized to near
full-screen. Only the top and left edges of underlying windows remain
visible behind the foreground window.
Help Menu Items and Tool Tips
The Help menu provides links to the Pro Tools Help system, online
resources, and various other reference files that are installed with Pro Tools.
In addition to the Help menu, the Pro Tools user interface provides Tool Tips
in all main windows to help you solve any question that you may come
across in Pro Tools. When you park the cursor for a few seconds over an
abbreviated name (such as a track name or an output assignment) or over an
unlabeled icon or tool, Pro Tools will display the full name of the item or its
function.
Tool Tips are an optional display element controlled via the Tool Tips
Display options in the Display Preferences pane (SETUP > PREFERENCES,
DISPLAY tab). Tool Tips settings provide two options: Function shows the
basic function of the item, and Details shows the complete name of an
abbreviated name or item. Tool Tips can be set to display either or both of
these options, or they can be turned off altogether.
