Welcome¶

Now that everything is installed we can start up the application for the first time.

• After completing the installation, run the uDig application from the Windows Start ‣ Programs menu.

  

• Initially you are presented with the uDig workbench. The uDig workbench consists of a number of panels called views.

  

• The Welcome view runs along the right hand side of the screen. This view contains:

  • a link to the Getting Started tutorial from the online documentation. We cover the use of the online documentation in the next section
  • a link to the uDig Website

• To close the Welcome view click the x next to the word welcome.

• You can return to the welcome view at any time using the Help ‣ Welcome menu item.
