Introduction
...
Commands are operations which can be performed on a dataset. Commands can for example be used to display a dataset in the display window, or to generate new datasets. You can even create your own scripted commands to cater to your specific needs. You execute a command by right clicking the dataset or folder you want to run it on, and then selecting the relevant command in the pop-up menu.
Commands have two execution modes: Direct and Interactive. If the execution mode is set to Interactive the commands editor with the front menu . You can give different parameters to a command in the command editor. These parameters are stored with the command and used during execution.will be displayed when you execute the command. This allows you to adjust various parameters that define how the command works. Depending on the command, the menu will consist of different input parameters from simple display parameters to complex manipulation options. If the execution mode is set to Direct the command will execute with the last active input parameters for the command. Note that some commands does not require input parameters and will therefore display the underlying code when running it in Interactive mode.

To see if a command is set to Direct or Interactive mode, look behind the command name. If there are ellipsis (...) behind the name, the command is set to Interactive mode. |
Commands can be stored in three categories:
...
You will find the commands sorted into the different categories in the Toolbox (see illustration below) or or on the right-click menu of a dataset or a folder. Commands can also be put together in sequence in Workflows to perform visualizations or data operations.

Sticky Surface
Geocap has a concept where any surface can be set to be sticky. When a surface is sticky, data like points, lines or images may be displayed onto that surface. This is mainly done by re-sampling lines and displaying them a little bit above the sticky surface. When a surface is activated (or set) as a sticky surface, it is copied to workspace under the name sticky_surface. If this dataset is removed from workspace, there is no sticky surface anymore.
