Graphical User Interface (GUI)

OpenCOR offers a consistent GUI across the different platforms it supports. The look and feel of the interface is determined by the plugins which are selected. The first time you run OpenCOR, it will look something like this:

Default looking OpenCOR

The central area is used to interact with files. By default, no files are open, hence the OpenCOR logo is shown instead. To the sides, there are dockable windows, which provide additional features. Those windows can be dragged and dropped to the top or bottom of the central area:

Use of all docking areas

Alternatively, they can be undocked:

Or even closed, either by directly closing the window itself or by unticking the corresponding menu item (under the View menu, or the Help menu for the Help window):

To unselect all the plugins will result in OpenCOR looking 'empty':
