The commands section in the Toolbox

The command tab section offers a categorized view of the commands available in Geocap. At top level the commands are stored as either 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. All this is done from the right-click menu on a command or folder in the toolbox. 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.

The color tables section in the Toolbox

The tab for color tables section provides you with a list of default color tables, some well suited to display seismic data, other others to display different grid types, e.g. topography. You can also create your own color tables by clicking the icon. Read more about how to create your own 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 toolbox color table list and select Activate. Notice that the color table icon changed in the lower right corner.
