GGU-GEO-GRAPH: Starting the program

After starting the program, you will see two menus at the top of the window:

• File

• Info

After clicking the "File" menu an existing file can be opened using the "Load" menu item. A new file can be created using the "New" menu item. Clicking on "New" an empty A3 page is displayed on the screen. Seven menus appear at the top of the window:

• File

• Edit

• Page size + margins

• Graphics preferences

• Graphics

• Chart evaluation

• Section

• Info

After clicking one of these menus, the so-called menu items roll down, allowing you access to all program functions.

The program works on the principle of What you see is what you get. This means that the screen display represents, overall, what you will see on your printer. In the last consequence, this would mean that the screen display would have to be refreshed after every alteration you make. For reasons of efficiency and as this can take several seconds for complex screen contents, the GGU-STRATIG screen is not refreshed after every alteration.

If you would like to refresh the screen contents, press either [F2] or [Esc]. The [Esc] key additio-nally sets the screen display back to your current zoom, which has the default value 1.0, corresponding to an A3 format sheet.
