1. GS De Novo Assembler : 1.3 Launching the GS De Novo Assembler GUI Application : 1.3.1 The Main Buttons, Status Area and Progress Box
1.3.1
The Main Buttons, Status Area and Progress Box
Seven main buttons are always visible on the toolbar, along the right-hand side of the GS De Novo Assembler’s main window:
•
The Exit button closes the GS De Novo Assembler application
•
The New button allows one to create a new assembly project
•
The Open button allows one to open an existing assembly project
•
The Start button begins the assembly (computation) of an open assembly project
•
The Stop button halts the execution of an ongoing assembly computation
•
The About button shows the GS De Novo Assembler splash screen
•
The Help button opens the GS De Novo Assembler section of the software manual.
The top of the main GS De Novo Assembler window contains a status area that displays a command hint, while the bottom panel is a progress box which remains blank until an assembly project has been opened.
 
The progress box at the bottom of the window can be resized by dragging its top frame separator. If the field is not visible, it is probably simply collapsed; you can view it by dragging up the edge of the collapsed frame.
