Changing font size
On macOS, Windows, and Linux/X11 alike, use the font size accelerator
LF to change the font size and style used for buttons, labels,
menus, peak lists, … directly from within POKY. Editing ~/.Xdefaults
and re-running xrdb is no longer required or supported. Font sizes are
specified in points (1/72 of an inch). To adjust the size of assignment labels on contour
plots use the ornament size dialog (oz).
The POKY preferences dialog (accelerator pf) is unrelated to fonts — it controls accelerator key typing timing, the backup file creation cycle gap (period in minutes), and the NMR data cache size in MBytes for smoother display (default 32).
Obsolete Sparky (pre-1995) features
The following features from pre-1995 Sparky no longer exist in POKY:
- Contour cache files
- Bitmap images
- Buttons on the spectrum view windows
The spectrum window buttons correspond to keyboard accelerators. Zoom in is zi, zoom out is zo, zoom previous is zp, toggle resonance panels is vR, toggle slice panels is vS.
The files in the DB directory are no longer used. This means that resonance frequencies are calculated by averaging the positions of assigned peaks in spectra in your project. Peaks in spectra which are not part of your project no longer affect resonance frequencies.
The accelerators for ornament copy and paste changed from ec and ep to oc and op.
There are no longer separate integration methods for isolated and overlapped peaks. You choose a single integration method from the integration dialog (accelerator it).
The assignment dialog is different from pre-1995 Sparky.
View synchronization is now done with a synchronization dialog. The accelerators ya, yd, and yt all bring up this dialog. You can synchronize individual axes instead of all corresponding axes between two or more spectra.
