Cupboard

The Cupboard is the row of module buttons at the top of the Hoku window. Modules are the building blocks of a job.

Items on the Cupboard are dragged to the Desktop. Nothing ever goes in the opposite direction. The items in the Cupboard are the elements used to construct the jobs. They are not the jobs themselves, nor are they the end results.

The modules you see depend on the Hoku level. Basic shows 14 modules; Advanced shows all of them.

Using the Cupboard

  • Left-click a module to read its instructions. See Instructions for Modules.
  • Right-click a module to give it a color. See Colors for Modules.
  • Right-click a blank space, outside any module, to open the Cupboard menu.

The Cupboard menu has three settings:

Algorithm Level Switches between the Basic, Intermediate and Advanced levels Changing Hoku Level
Module Size Makes the module buttons thinner or thicker Changing Thickness
Appearance Chooses the Classic, Light or Dark look Changing Appearance
