How to Use the GUI Reference Pages
The GUI Reference pages are organized alphabetically by the name of the function or tool. Most of the GUI tools in the Mapping Toolbox are activated by command-line functions without any input arguments. Users should consult the corresponding pages in Chapter 1, "Mapping Reference" as well. The entries in this chapter contain the following:
