2 Introduction
In this first exercise you will get familiar with the WMS interface and help system. You
should explore the different menus, modules and tools so that you have a good idea of the
organization.

2.1 Outline
This is what you will do:
1. Import a DEM and a background image.
2. Become familiar with the modules, menus, tools, display options, and help
system in the WMS interface.

3 Exercise Files
Each exercise has one or more files that have been prepared for you to use. You are
instructed at various points to open these files. The default installation of WMS copies all
of these files into a directory named “tutorial” (for example you will find them in
C:\Program Files\WMS84\tutorial if you installed WMS in the default folder of
C:\Program Files\WMS84). Further, the files for each exercise are organized by
directory within the tutorial directory. Directories are named with abbreviations for the
chapter name and the first time you open a file for each exercise you will be directed to
open from the appropriate folder in the tutorial directory. Remaining files for a given
exercise will be located in the same directory.
You can also find tutorial files needed for these tutorials by going to the
http://www.aquaveo.com web site and downloading the required files for each tutorial
directly from the WMS training section of the web site.

4 Starting Over
It is suggested that you start WMS new at the beginning of each exercise. If you continue
from one to another without quitting, then data, display options, and other WMS settings
may not be in sync with the instructions, and may lead to confusion.

5 Getting Around the WMS Interface


The WMS Help file has a section on some of the basic elements of the WMS graphical
user interface (GUI). The demonstration portion of this lesson covered most of the basic
elements of the Quick Tour, but it is contained in the WMS Help file should you want to
review later.

5.1 Self-Guided Tour


The WMS Help file is located at http://www.xmswiki.com and contains basic
information for some of the important elements of the GUI. In this section you should
review these help pages and then practice on your own to understand how the interface
works.
1. Start WMS
2. Select Help | WMS Help
3. Review these sections and then close the help page
4. Select File | Open
5. Locate the folder C:\Program Files\WMS84\tutorial\demedit
6. Open the file named “trailmount.dem”
7. Select OK
8. Select File | Open
9. Open the file named “trailmountain.tif”
10. Select No if asked to convert your TIFF to a JPEG
As a minimum be sure that you are comfortable with the following operations within the
WMS interface (if you have questions, search on the topic inside the WMS help page for
further explanation):

• Switching modules
• Switching tools
• Zooming, panning, framing the image, and rotating in 3D
• When you are finished, use the Plan View macro to make sure you are
in plan view before trying other things
• Using the Display Options , Contour Options , and other macros
• Turning objects on and off and accessing menus from the Project
Explorer
