Quick Start to use PyGMI

Introduction

The new PyGMI interface allows for a flow chart approach to performing various geophysical tasks.

Details

The menus in PyGMI group tasks into categories:

• By clicking on a menu item, you will see that the item appears as a flow chart element on the main interface.
• By clicking on the icon on the menubar, it is possible to connect two tasks on the flow chart.
• Double clicking on a task activates the task.
• Right clicking on the task allows for the display of any data and results associated with that task.

Tasks also are color coded depending on their state:

• Blue tasks still need to be activated
• Green tasks have been activated and show a more complete context menu.
• Red tasks are in the process of running.

Dataset Information Pane

The dataset information pane shows information about the dataset such as the dataset type (e.g. Raster) and the band names. It displays information when you click on a task which has data connected to it.

The Process Log Pane

The process log pane shows information about the latest process which you have run. It can be helpful to know how far your processing is, or for debugging purposes.

Warnings

• Right clicking on a task is an extremely important part of PyGMI. It is how you display results, get histograms, and export data.
• If you update data in an earlier task, you may need to disconnect and reconnect all later tasks to ensure that the new change is in effect in later tasks.
