Sticky

Experienced Tinderbox can benefit from an occasional dip into new Tinderbox features. Jon Buscall writes:

I'm leading a workshop for a client tomorrow. Whilst putting my notes and presentation together in Tinderbox I got into working with sticky adornments for the first time in Map View. What a sensible idea sticky adornments are.

Adornments are simply neighborhoods in the Tinderbox map -- they're usually colored and labeled, and they help organize the map. Adornments usually reside behind everything else, and you can move and resize them freely. When you move a sticky adornment, the notes and agents above the adornments stick to it; making it easier to expand a growing map.
