XML Pipeline Editor Toolbar

The XML Pipeline Editor toolbar provides easy access to operations you are likely to perform while building XML pipelines and working with XML pipeline diagrams in Stylus Studio. Figure 421 identifies the toolbar's tools.

Many of these operations are also available from the XMLPipeline menu and canvas short-cut menu (right-click to display). See Menu Actions for more information.
