The "Pipeline Browser" is named in the same way as in ParaView. All the data objects from geometry to results as well as data operations, e.g. slices, are listed in the "Pipeline Browser". When an object is created internally or loaded from a file, it is shown in the "Pipeline Browser".
Below the "Pipeline Browser" is the "Properties Panel". This panel may have multiple tabs that shows detailed information of the data object. More details about this panel will be provided other pages.
On the right side is the layout of views. This is where the data is displayed. The layout can be split into several views by clicking the horizontal split or vertical split button. See the image below.
A data object can be displayed in multiple views. Only one data object and one view is activated at a time.
