The table of contents shows a list of all the layers loaded in the project. It looks like the following:

1. Construction layers, they are automatically generated at the creation of the project and can be edited. They are displayed using a bold font.
2. Support Themes, they cannot be edited.

The status bar at the bottom of the application window provides additional informations like geographical coordinates or the number of features selected.

You can access Toolmap's different layouts using the Layout option of the Window menu. These allow you to use three different kinds of windows disposition :

• The Default layout, which is the one you get when first launching Toolmap. This is the one displayed in the User Interface Overview above.

1. The Vertical layout, which includes all the useful windows in a vertical display.
2. The Horizontal layout, which includes the same windows than the Vertical layout but do so in the left border and the bottom of the display window.

You can freely close any of the tab you wish using the corresponding menu or reorganise your tabs by clicking and droping them where you want them to be. ToolMap will then remember your new custom layout and display it when you launch it.

You can switch back to one of the three base layouts anytime by simply selecting them again in the Window menu.
