The information on this screen will explain what the numerical values on the Event Configuration screen mean to those who are interested. It will also explain how the events hierarchy works to control which events will be fired when, and which take priority.

Event Hierarchy

Events are processed from the top of the list down.

When the event processor hits a rule with a "*" for the class name, it is performed irrigardless of the focused window, then the processor moves down the list to the next rule.

When the processor hits a rule which has a named window class, if that window is currently focused, then the event will be triggered, and the processor will ignore all events below it. If the window is not focused, the rule is ignored, and the next one is processed.

You can use this processing sequence to your advantage when addind a large number of events. for instance, if you want all windows to rotate, add the rule to the list. If you then want to exclude certain windows, add the event above the "*" rule, and it will be excluded.

Numerical Values

Unfortunately, there is so much information to display on this screen that it has had to be condensed. You do not need to know what these options mean to configure Gyrator 2, as there are options screens to construct the numbers automatically.

	Column 1 - Activation This column tells you which user actions will cause the event to fire. The possibilities are: 0 - Inactive (Will not fire under any circumstances) 1 - Orientation Triggered 2 - Stylus Triggered These values are then added together to produce the number displayed in the list using a logical "and" calculation.
	Column 2 - Orientation & Stylus This column tells you which orientation the device has to be in before the event fires, as well as whether the stylus has to be present or not. The possibilities are: 0 - Inactive (Will not fire under any circumstances) 1 - Portrait 2 - Landscape 4 - Reverse Portrait 8 - Reverse Landscape 16 - Face Down 32 - Face Up 1024 - Stylus In 2048 - Stylus Out These values are then added together to produce the number displayed in the list using a logical "and" calculation.
	Column 3 - Actions This column tells you what will happen when the event is triggered. The possibilities are: 0 - Inactive (Nothing will happen when the event is fired) 1 - Rotate Screen 2 - Play Sound 4 - Vibrate 8 - Lock 16 - Device Lock 32 - Screen Off 64 - Suspend 128 - Emulate Keypress These values are then added together to produce the number displayed in the list using a logical "and" calculation.
