2.3.1 What does it look like?

This is Monteverdi’s main window (figure  2.1) where the menus are available and where you can see the different modules, which have been set up for the processing. Input data are obtained by readers. When you choose to use a new module, you select its input data, and therefore, you build a processing pipeline sequentially. Figure  2.2 shows the generic window which allows to specify output(s) of Monteverdi’s modules.

Let’s have a look at the different menus. The first one is of course the ”File” menu. This menu allows you to open a data set, to save it and to cache it. The ”data set” concept is interesting, since you don’t need to define by hand if you are looking for an image or a vector file. Of course, you don’t need to do anything special for any particular file format. So opening a data set will create a ”reader” which will appear in the main window. At any time, you can use the ”save data set” option in order to store to a file the result of any processing module.
