Spatial Integration takes inspiration from the gaming world, using the full window to display what you want to see – your data. Control menus fly in from the sides when requested by bumping the mouse pointer against the edge of the window.
The left side menu allows you to manipulate data, layers and visualisations. The right side menu provides access to tools and settings. There is a thin status bar across the bottom of the window that shows information such as current pointer location, coordinate reference system, pending actions and log messages.
