Setting preferences for folding in the EGL editor

Folding enables you to collapse blocks of code in the EGL editor to hide them.

Folding has no effect on EGL source code or generated source; it is only a tool to view the active parts of your source code while hiding parts that you are not currently working with.

To set folding preferences:
  1. From the main menu, click Window > Preferences.
  2. In the Preferences window, expand EGL > Editor and click Folding.
  3. On the Folding page of the Preferences window, select the Enable folding check box to enable the EGL editor to collapse sections of your code.
  4. Under Initially fold these elements, select the check boxes next to the sections of EGL code that you want the editor to fold automatically when you open a file.
  5. In the Number of property block lines needed to enable folding field, enter the minimum number of lines in a block of properties that you want to be able to fold. If you select the Properties Block check box, EGL will automatically fold blocks of properties of the given size or larger.
  6. Click Apply to save the changes and remain in the Preferences window. Click OK to save the changes and exit the window.
