GUM-B v2 Help
  • Widgets (ie. buttons, menus, sliders, etc.) are activated by the Left Mouse Button.
  • Manipulation of the graphics is done by the mouse; bu default the left mouse is
    translation, middle mouse is rotation, and the right mouse is zoom. These can
    be changed under Util SetUp on the Side Bar.
  • There are four graphical user interfaces to choose from:
    GUI1 is the default with all functions on the right hand side (RHS) of the
    screen, with a list and message window across the button.
    GUI2 is also Right handed but is now catered to the advanced user who
    likes hot keys. Has a larger viewing area since the message window is new
    placed on the RHS.
    GUI3 is same as GUI1 but has functionality on the left had side (LHS).
    GUI4 is same as GUI2 but has functionality on LHS.

  • To customize the GUI's, copy GUM-B.#.ad (# is 1, 2, 3, or 4) from the
    GUM-B execution directory into your #HOME/.GUM-B directory. The
