Introduction
The toolbox provides you with four vertical tabs for easy access to the main functionality for visualizing and manipulating your datasets. By clicking on a tab in the toolbox it will expand, revealing its functionality, while the others will be collapsed.

Operation Modes
Commands
The command tab offers a categorized view of the commands available in Geocap. At top level the commands are stored as either Item Commands, Schema Commands or 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 and 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 toolbar for each command. All this is done from the right-click menu on a command or folder in the toolbox.
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.
Color Tables
The tab for color tables provides you with a list of default color tables, some well suited to display seismic data, other 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.
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.
