The g-Space workspace consists of several areas, each of which can be customized individually.
1. Ribbon Bar is the topmost section of the interface, highlighted in the red box. Ribbon Bar is where you can access the main functionalities of the g-Space software. It is organized into several thematic tabs that group related tools and commands.
2. Data Manager Panel is located on the left side of the interface, highlighted in the blue box. Data Manager is a panel used to control and organize the project's database. It displays a hierarchical view of all the data available within the project.
For data that can be visualized in the active window, the display icon will appear transparent. If the data cannot be visualized in the active window, the icon will be highlighted in gray.
3. View Manager Panel is located below the Data Manager on the left side, highlighted in the green box. View Manager is responsible for managing the Workspaces and views within the g-Space application. Lists different workspaces and the views within them, such as Seismic data, Wells data, 3D view time, Well tie window, Well correlation, etc. Allows you to control the visibility, arrangement, and management of various views, enabling efficient handling of multiple data displays simultaneously.
4. Workspace Area. The central area of the interface, highlighted in the yellow box. Workspace Area is where the main data visualizations and analysis take place. This area is used to display multiple Views that are part of the ongoing workflow or project. Each view within the workspace can represent different types of data, such as seismic sections, well logs, map views, etc.
The cursor position can be synchronized on the map and section.
The active window is highlighted in blue as in our Location map example and the Module Properties Panel is displayed for the active window.
5. Module Properties Panel is located on the right side of the interface, highlighted in the orange box. The Module Properties panel allows you to view and modify the properties and settings of the currently selected view or module. Includes adjustable settings such as axes properties, color settings, scaling, grid options, and other parameters specific to the active module. Also on the right side you can switch to other panels, such as
Progress view that showing progress of the currently running process
Actions panel contains processes that can be executed in the software
The g-Space interface is designed to be intuitive and flexible, enabling users to easily manage and analyze complex geophysical data. By familiarizing yourself with these components, you can efficiently navigate the software and optimize your workflows.
