Preview window with calculated tendon losses
The preview window is split into two parts. In first part some details of tendon parameters are displayed together with the table of results. Using the toolbar at the top of the window, all the information can be exported to a file (HTML, TXT, PDF, RTF) or directly to printer. In the second part a diagram is shown the distribution of various losses along the length of the tendon. It is possible to change the scale of the diagram or the text. And the pop-up menu (pressing right mouse button), offers some basic functions for the picture: zoom, print, copy to clipboard or save to an external file.
