Will cancel any mouse action that is started but is regretted and should be ended without any operation.

Start a mouse action that when clicked on a graphical object will delete that object.

Start a mouse action that when clicked on a graphical object can set apearence parameters for that object. The appearence parameters are: Opacity, Reflection, Diffusion, Ambience. Sometimes before saving a graphical scene as an image (i.e. Image folder->New->Screenshot) for presentation graphics, one can adjust the ambience up a little bit for a surface to get a lighter display.

Start a mouse action where the user is supposed to click on a surface that is map with scalar values. The mapping range of the scalar values according to the color table can then be adjusted.

Start a mouse action that when clicked on a graphical object will highlight the corresponding data object in the project.

Will create a new graphical window on the same window Tab. The new window will be used for whatever the user wants. A practical case is to display two surfaces representing different interpretations in separate windows and tile and connect the two windows to study the surfaces simultaniously.

Will open a text page for script editing and execution. Try this script for gridding some random points and mapping the surface: z; mak ran 11; grp 100 100; map; xwi sel . A script is executed by right click and Execute. The script window is found under toolbar Windows. A nice feature of the script window is the ability to indent a script written in an editor.

Will start a new project equivalent to File->New->Project.

Will start a new workflow equivalent to File->New->Workflow.

Will open a file that will be transferred to a new text window of the same name. The file should therefore be an ASCII file and presumably a script file that can be executed. A pratical use is when developing a script that is attached to a Toolbar list. Executing new versions of the script will add theis to the toolbar list.

Will show all windows (graphical and text) in a cascade appearance.

Will show all windows (graphical and text) in a sidewise tiled appearance. Can be very pratical when viewing several object simulaniously.

Will show all windows (graphical and text) in a vertical tiled appearance.

Message area for Geocap. Can be docked or stand alone. Very important for system messages and error messages that can be studied and/or reported.

Text area for history logging of script commands that are executed. Mostly for the advanced user and script developer that can see what actually was run.

Will delete all graphics in the current viewport or window (if the window holds only one viewport). The correcponding references to actors in the project are deleted. Frequently used in free interactive work.

Will delete the last graphical object (also called and actor) that is displayed. Frequently used to erase a graphical object that shall be removed. Note: Redisplaying data from the project using the same command will erase the previous corresponding actor.

Will set the graphical window in 2D mode; i.e. only pan and zoom is allowed. The view direction (x, y or z) depends on the corresponding setting. In 2D mode the left button on the mouse which in 3D mode is used for 3D rolling is now free and is used for immediate cursor response for instance in digitizing.

Will set the graphical window in 3D mode; pan, zoom and 3D rolling is enabled. The default 3D mode renders in perspective view; i.e. parallel lines are not parallel on the screen, but shows a perspective. The nonperspective isometric 3D mode is found under toolbar View -> Perspective -> 3D Isometric
