!!! tip "Tip: Two Modes of Use"
EAM QuickView can be used in two modes:
a ^^new-viz^^ mode (for starting a new visualization) or
a ^^resume^^ mode (for resuming an analysis). Further details can be found on
the [toolbar description page](toolbar.md).
!!! tip "Tip: Connectivity File"
Regardless of which mode is used, a connectivity file is needed
in addition to the simulation data file.
Further details can be found on the documentation pages
describing the [connectivity files](connectivity.md) and the
[toolbar](toolbar.md).
!!! tip "Tip: The LOAD VARIABLES Button"
Most buttons, sliders, and selection boxes in the GUI apply their effects
immediately upon user interaction. The only exception is the variable
selection: After variables are chosen for the first time following file load
or after the selection is changed, the user ^^must^^ click the `LOAD VARIABLES`
button in the [toolbar](toolbar.md) for the new selection to take effect.
!!! tip "Tip: Viewport Layout"
The QuickView app is designed to present multiple variables simultaneously
in an informative way. Users can ^^rearrange^^ the individual views
(i.e., contour plots) in the [viewport](viewport.md) via ^^drag-and-drop^^,
and ^^resize^^ each view separately by clicking and dragging
its ^^bottom-right corner^^.
Furthermore, if a user saves a state file after these
adjustments, they can later resume their analysis with the customized
arrangement.
!!! warning "Trick: Camera Refresh"
In the current version, after the `LOAD VARIABLES` button is clicked or
a visualization setting is changed, some (or all) of
the views in the [viewport](viewport.md) may exhibit display issues, e.g.,
erroneously showing the same color or a few color stripes over the entire
globe or region. This can be remedied by clicking the camera reset
button at the right end of the [toolbar](toolbar.md). We are working on
solving the display problem for future versions.
