DocumentPanel
The Document Panel can display the results of collating multiple documents or it can display a side-by-side comparison of two documents. To facilitate this, the Document Panel has two modes: Collation View and Comparison View. These modes can be toggled with the buttons at the bottom of the panel.
Line numbering and other location markers can be summoned by clicking on the “Toggle Location Marks” button on the toolbar.
Collation View – When the Collation View is selected, Juxta displays a collation of all selected witnesses against the current base document. The current base document is the document highlighted in green in the Comparison Explorer to the left of the Document Panel.
The text is color coded to indicate the degree of variance evident at any particular area of the text. Lighter shades of blue indicate that fewer witnesses vary from the base text at this location. The darker the shade of blue, the more witnesses differ at this location.
Clicking on the text itself reveals all variants for a particular location. The variants appear in the right-hand margin of the text as shown below:
You can add critical annotations by clicking the grayed-out star that appears within the green witness label. This will activate an “Edit Note” dialog box. After you add text and click “OK” to save it, the note will appear in the Secondary Panel (when the “Notes” display is selected) and the star in the witness label will appear in bold (
There are three types of differences reported by Juxta. They are marked with the following glyphs in the witness labels:
Comparison View – The Comparison View allows side-by-side inspection of two texts. While the Collation View shows the status of the base text relative to all other texts in the collation, the Comparison View focuses on just two texts at a time. As you scroll through the comparison, the two texts are kept in step with one another. Line numbering and other markings can be summoned in this view by clicking the “Toggle Location Marks” button on the toolbar.
