Projects and the Project Explorer
To work in Oasis montaj requires an open Project. An Oasis montaj "Project"
encompasses every item in your working project; from the data files in your project
(databases, maps, and grids), to the tools used (including auxiliary tools such as
histograms, scatter plots etc. - licensed version only), to the project setup including the
menus you have displayed and whether you are working on a map or profile and the state
in which you left it the last time you used it.
The Project Explorer enables you to browse as well as open any project item. The
project file (*.gpf) is used to keep track of all information related to a working project.
The Project Explorer has two windows, the Data window that includes all data files
included in the project and the Tools window that organizes and maintains the project
tools.
