The GMS window is divided into seven main sections:


===Menu Bar===
===Menu Bar===
Each module has its own set of menus. The first three menus ([[GMS:File Menu|''File'']], [[GMS:Edit Menu|''Edit'']], [[GMS:Display Menu|''Display'']]) are the same for every module. The remaining menus are dependent on the selected module.
The [[GMS:File Menu|''File'']], [[GMS:Edit Menu|''Edit'']], [[GMS:Display Menu|''Display'']], Window and Help menus are always available. Other menus change based on the [[GMS:What_Is_GMS#Modules|module]] or [[GMS:What_Is_GMS#Numerical Models|numerical model]] in use.


===Edit Window===
===XYZF Bar===
These fields are used to edit the coordinates of selected items (vertices, nodes, scatter points, etc.). The coordinates are changed by typing in new values and hitting the ''ENTER'' or ''TAB'' key. The scalar data value (F:) associated with the selected object can also be edited.

===Tool Palette===
===Shortcut Toolbars===
Several Tool Palettes can be displayed in the GMS interface. Default tool palettes include the ''Macros Palette'', the ''Static Tool Palette'', the ''Dynamic Tool Palette'', the ''Mini-Grid Plot Palette'', and the ''Module Palette''. (For more information on each of these palettes see [[GMS:Tool Palettes|Tool Palettes]])
The [[GMS:Tool Palettes|shortcut toolbars]] are shortcuts to often used menu commands.


===Graphics Window===
===Graphics Window===
The primary graphical input and output for GMS takes place in the ''Graphics Window''. The action taken when you interact with the ''Graphics Window'' depends on which tool is selected.
The ''Graphics Window'' is where data is rendered and the user interacts with the data using tools.

====Mouse Tracking Bar====
Every object that can be selected in the ''Graphics Window'' now has a corresponding right-click menu available. These menus contain commands that allow the user to manipulate the data or display of the selected items.
This shows the real world coordinates of the mouse in the Graphics Window. If the mouse is over a cell, triangle or element, the F value is the dataset scalar value and the ID is the object's number. For 3D Grids, the IJK of the cell is also shown. The progress bar is also found here.

Many commands on the data in GMS can be executed by right-clicks in the [[GMS:Project Explorer|''Project Explorer'']]. For general commands or to create new data objects you can right-click on the empty space in the ''Project Explorer'' and the following pop-up menu is available. The visibility of items in the ''Graphics Window'' can also be controlled by selecting the toggle next to each item in the ''Project Explorer''.
 
See [[GMS:Datasets#Datasets in the Project Explorer|Datasets in the Project Explorer]] to learn about datasets in the ''Project Explorer''.

===Time Step Window===

The ''Time Step Window'' is located below the [[GMS:Project Explorer|Project Explorer]] by default, but it can be moved to anywhere on the window since it is a "dockable" toolbar. The ''Time Step Window'' only appears when a transient dataset is selected in the Project Explorer. Time steps can be viewed in date/time format or relative time format by selecting the toggle below the ''Time Step Window''. The ''Time Step Window'' can be resized simply by clicking on the window borders and dragging them to a new location.

The ''Status Bar'' is used to display the cursor coordinates, the IJK indices of the cell beneath the cursor, the dataset value beneath the cursor, data associated to selected items, and other information.
The ''Status Bar'' is used to display messages and information about selected items. It also shows the display projection.

The GMS window is divided into seven main sections:

Menu Bar

The File, Edit, Display, Window and Help menus are always available. Other menus change based on the module or numerical model in use.

XYZF Bar

These fields are used to edit the coordinates and scalar data set values of selected items (vertices, nodes, scatter points, etc.).

Mouse Tracking Bar

This shows the real world coordinates of the mouse in the Graphics Window. If the mouse is over a cell, triangle or element, the F value is the dataset scalar value and the ID is the object's number. For 3D Grids, the IJK of the cell is also shown. The progress bar is also found here.

Project Explorer

The Project Explorer contains a hierarchical representation of the data associated with a modeling project.

Status Bar

The Status Bar is used to display messages and information about selected items. It also shows the display projection.
