This function is particularly useful with complex layouts. If you are currently putting delicate final touches to a complex layout, then you would likely prefer quick screen redraws to the display of all details on a page (e.g. complex vector graphics and currently irrelevant frames).
With the function Contents visible/invisible
you can hide
the contents of currently selected frames. These invisible
frames will only display their outlines (as long as the frame
boundaries have been switched to visible in the Visibility
function field of the Guideline module) together with the frame type.
If the frame has been given a name then this will be displayed as
well. In each case screen redraws will be appreciably faster when the
frame contents do not have to be drawn as well.
Tip: To be able to select the frames that have been
switched to invisible in order to reverse the process, Frame editor
parameters
in the Frame editing module function group must have
the Edit invisible frame
icon selected!
In any case, please keep in mind that in general invisible frames will be printed out with the rest of the page.
