HATS Toolkit screen orientation
To start the HATS Toolkit development environment using the desired screen orientation, you can use the HATS Toolkit start menu items. Use of the Arabic translation of the HATS Toolkit is dependent on Arabic support provided by the underlying Rational® SDP platform. When installed on an Arabic translation of Rational® SDP, two HATS Toolkit start menu items are provided, HATS Toolkit (Arabic), which starts the Arabic translation of HATS Toolkit, and HATS Toolkit (English), which starts the English translation of HATS Toolkit. Search the Knowledge Center for your Rational® SDP platform to determine if Arabic is supported.
If not using the HATS Toolkit start menu items, to specify the
orientation to use for the HATS Toolkit , use the -nl or -dir
Eclipse startup arguments as shown in the table below.
For example, start the HATS Toolkit using
| Eclipse startup argument | HATS Toolkit orientation |
|---|---|
| -nl <BIDI locale> and the BIDI language pack is installed | right-to-left |
| -nl <BIDI locale> and the BIDI language pack is not installed | left-to-right |
| -nl <BIDI locale> -dir rtl | right-to-left |
| -dir rtl | right-to-left |
| -nl <BIDI locale> -dir ltr | left-to-right |
| -nl <non-BIDI locale> | left-to-right |
| -dir ltr | left-to-right |
eclipse.exe
-OpenHatsPerspective -nl ar -dir rtl for Arabic. If no
Eclipse startup arguments are specified, the HATS Toolkit orientation
is left-to-right regardless of the development workstation
locale.
