Highlighting and Deleting Empty Modgen Rows and Columns

An empty row or column is highlighted in the Modgen editor window. The highlighting is on by default. When highlighting is on, the shortcut menu displays the Remove Empty Row/column Highlight option to turn the highlighting off as shown in the figure below.

When highlighting is off, the shortcut menu displays the Highlight Empty Row/Column option to turn the highlighting on, as shown in the figure below.

These options are displayed in the shortcut menu when:

• One or more instances are selected.
• No instance is selected.

However, the placement of this option in the shortcut menu is different in both these cases.

When you perform an undo operation in the Modgen editor window, the highlighting, if on, gets automatically turned off.

Alternative SKILL Function: mgHilightEmptyRowColumnCB

The Zoom to Fit option also includes empty rows and columns in the Modgen editor window even if they are at the outer edges of the window.

Deleting Empty Rows and Columns

As a part of interactive Modgen editing, you can delete empty rows or columns from the Modgen editor window. To delete empty rows, you need to right-click the empty row and select the Delete Empty Row option from the shortcut menu, as shown in the figure below.

To delete empty columns, you need to right-click the empty columns and select the Delete Empty Columns option.

If you right-click at the location where an empty row and an empty column are overlapping, then both these options are displayed in the shortcut menu. You can select any of these options to either delete the row or column.

These options are displayed in the shortcut menu when:

• One or more instances are selected.
• No instance is selected.

Alternative SKILL Functions: mgDeleteEmptyRowColumnCB, mgDeleteAllEmptyRowColumnCB.
