Create an Interactive tutorial

Starting with GroIMP 2.1.7 it is possible to create interactive tutorials to present panels and workflows. The interaction is based on GroIMP Layouts and the embedded HTML view.

Overall concept

GroIMP Layouts describe the composition of the different panels in a project and can be saved using “Panels/add Layout”, chosen under “Panels/set Layout” and delete using the layout explorer “Panels/Layout”.

The tutorial navigation panel allows the users to “walk through” the different project layouts, starting with the first created one.

First step planing!

Since a layout can not be renamed or edited it is not (easily) possible to later change the order of the different layouts in the walk through. Therefore it is important to properly plan your interactive tutorial.

Content of each step

For each step/layout you need to know the panels you want in and the description of the step as an HTML file. You can simply create an HTML file using any editor (e.g. https://html5-editor.net) (or Word with a bigger font size).

Preparation

  1. Preferences:
    1. Create a new RGG project and open the preferences
    2. Create a workbench option file (file/create…)
    3. enable “hide the history navigation button in HTML view” under user interface General Options.
    4. close preferences
  1. HTML files:
    1. Create HTML folder in your file explorer

Set up your first scene

- Add the first HTML file to the HTML folder
