Show Picker 4
The Show picker lists alternative views for displaying data in an application,
such as the Card view and All Info view in the built-in Names File applica-
tion. In an application that supports Newton stationery, the Show picker lists
all the available views for types of data that the application uses. The active
view has a check mark next to its name in the Show picker. In addition to
alternate views, a Show picker can list commands that display a particular
data item in the currently selected view. For example, the built-in Date Book
application’s Show picker lists Today, which is not an alternate view but is a
command to display the calendar data for today. Figure 4-19 illustrates the
Show picker for the Date Book.

Picking a view or a command from a Show picker changes the view.
Action Picker 4
The Action picker lists commands for sending and receiving data by
communications methods, such as printing, faxing, beaming, and e-mailing.
In many applications the Action picker includes additional commands for
acting on data that’s currently displayed. A separator line divides the routing
commands from the other action commands. Figure 4-20 shows an example
Action picker.
