h2. Commands
!att:_img_gen^toolbox_commands.png|height=500!
_The commands section in the Toolbox_
The command section offers a categorized view of the commands available in Geocap. At top level the commands are stored into three main categories:
* *Item Commands*
* *Schema Commands*
* *Shared Commands*.
To read more about this categorization and how to execute the commands see: [Commands].
Most commands are also grouped together in folders based on their thematic functionality such as:
* *Import*
* *Export*
* *Analysis*
* *Editing*
* *Operations*
* *Visualization*.
You can of course create your own folders and move commands around as you like using cut, copy and paste. You can also rename, delete, export or create an entry on the main toolbar for each command. Read more about this in: [Customizing the Interface]
Not all commands are loaded automatically when you first install Geocap. To add a command that has not been loaded in the toolbox yet, right click a header or a folder and select *New Command*. Select the command you want to add and click *OK*. The *Group* command in the *New Command* selection will give you a new folder in the toolbox. You can also select *Script* which lets you create your own specialized command. To read more about how to create your own commands see: [Programming in Geocap].
{tip}
There is a *Pin to Menu* checkbox next to every command in the toolbox. This checkbox decides if the command should be visible through the right-click menu on a dataset in the project.

h2. Color Tables
!att:_img_gen^toolbox_color_tables.png|height=450!
_The color tables section in the Toolbox_
The color tables section provides you with a list of default color tables, some well suited to display seismic data, others to display different grid types, e.g. topography. You can also create your own color tables by clicking the !att:_img_icon^colortable_new.png! icon. Read more about how to create your own [color tables|Color Tables] in the visualization chapter.
In the lower right corner of the Geocap interface you will find a drop-down box with the two options: *Standard* and *Seismic*. These are the color tables that will be used when running regular mapping and seismic display commands. You can edit the default color table by selecting either *Standard* or *Seismic*, and then right-click a color table in the list and select *Activate*. Notice that the color table icon changed in the lower right corner.
You can also change the color table on a dataset that has already been displayed in the graphical window. This is done by dragging the color table from the list in the tool box and dropping it on the dataset.

h2. Shell and Workspace

_The shell and worspace section in the Toolbox_
This is where you execute shell commands on datasets in the workspace. This is explained further in: [Shell Commands]
