At the bottom right of the window are two text fields that display the coordinates of the current mouse cur-
sor position and the size of the rollout. The default size of the rollout is 162 × 300, which is the size needed
to fit perfectly in the Command Panel.

Laying Out a Rollout

The rollout space, which appears gray in the left pane, can be selected and resized by dragging the black,
square handles at the edges of the form. As you change its size, its dimensions are displayed in the lower-right
corner of the interface. With the rollout space correctly sized, you are ready to add elements to the space.
