-GUIs+====== Graphical User Interfaces ====== 
 + 
 +All functionality of the Cow Suite is readily accessed via a corresponding GUI. This section will provide a brief overview of what expects you while using Cow Eyes, Cow Picker or the Micrograph Quality Checker (MQC).  
 + 
 +===== Cow Eyes ===== 
 + 
 +{{ :​cow_eyes_overwiev.png |}} 
 +\\ 
 +The basic sections of the Cow Eyes' graphical user interface (GUI) are the following:​\\ 
 + 
 +**Workspace:​** The workspace is where logics are dragged and dropped for visual programming in CowEyes. 
 + 
 +**Logics Panel:** Specific functions in the Cow are arranged in //logics//, which are the basic units of the image processing workflow and are arranged in groups according to their function. ​ Logics are dragged and dropped into the Workspace for visual programming. The Logics Panel can be easily navigated with the search bar at the top of the Panel. __Note: For an in-depth explanation of a particular logic, please see the [[eyes:​logics|]]__ 
 + 
 +**Quick Access:** Logics that have already been run can be copied-and-pasted from the History window and stored in the Quick Access window.  
 + 
 +**History:​** Every logic you use is logged in the History window. This log can be easily navigated using the search bar immediately above it. 
 + 
 +**Properties:​** Logics placed in the workspace can be modified in the **Properties** window before they are run.  
 + 
 +**Control Panel:** The Control Panel appears directly under the Properties Window when you are working with logics that offer interactive viewers (e.g. those used for 3D reconstructions). 
 + 
 + 
 +\\ 
 + 
 +=== Progress Indicators of CowEyes Logics === 
 + 
 +  - **Processing complete**: When the green circle appears in an individual logic, this means that the information processing by this logic is complete. {{ ::​selection_045.png |}} 
 +  - **Pause**: The yellow pause icon indicates that a logic has been paused by the user.{{ ::​selection_047.png |}} 
 +  - **Error**: The red X icon means that the logic is not connected properly or that it cannot process the given input. {{ ::​selection_042.png |}} 
 +  - **Awaiting input from earlier logics**: The purple icon appears when a logic is waiting for earlier logics to finish processing. No user input is required to resolve this temporary notification. {{ ::​selection_049.png |}} 
 +  - **Awaiting user input**: The blue hourglass icon indicates that the logic is awaiting user input. This is a feature of [[eyes:​interactive|]] logics. After the blue hourglass icon appears, click on it and enter your desired settings in the **Properties** window. Stop the run by clicking on the stop button in the top-left corner of the **Workspace**,​ then click play. The icon will turn green when the processing is complete. {{ ::​selection_044.png |}}
