Navigating Vesta

When Vesta is opened, the user will see the main screen.

The workspace area is in the middle. New workspaces can be added by selecting the "+" symbol next to the workspace tab, and any workspace tab can be renamed by double-clicking on it and then hitting "enter" on the keyboard. Any visualizations that the user creates are automatically displayed in the workspace area (up to four visualizations will display in one workspace at a time.)

The main menu panel is to the left. It can be collapsed by clicking on the hamburger menu symbol in the top, left corner of the panel.

The Data panel to the right is automatically collapsed and expands when the cursor hovers over the "Data" text. It can be pinned to remain opened while using Vesta and collapsed again as desired.

The Method panel to the left is automatically collapsed and expands when the cursor hovers over the "Methods" text. It can be pinned to remain open while using Vesta.

The footer area contains the time slider that allows you to visualize temporal changes in data by dragging the slider. The time marker is displayed under the time slider and automatically updates as the users drags the slider.

The help menu item at the bottom of the main menu opens the help material for Vesta, information about the application version and license information.
