Apart from some decoration around it, the main Ilwis4 window has two parts: the workbench and the data panel. The workbench has been discussed, so this time I want to show some things about the data panel. The data panel is where, as the name implies, all the data is. Maps, tables, catalogs etc., the data panel is where they are rendered. In ILWIS 3, such a thing didn’t exist. The main window had a side bar for things like navigation and operations and an MDI (multiple device interface) part for all the folders that you want to access. Apart from the fact that MDI is considered to be old fashioned these days, the framework we use simply doesn’t have it. So another solution had to be found.more >

A few weeks ago I showed some screen shots of what the new Ilwis4, at least the main window, looks like. Today I want to focus on the starting point for many actions and information sources – the workbench. more >
