The GTK+ MB-System interface provides several options for parsing (or scrolling) through the loaded bathymetry and backscatter. Available parsing options include:

• The forward and backward buttons on the toolbar . The forward and backward buttons move through the file in increments set by Pings Stepped in the Preferences Dialog.
• The Horizontal Scale slider on the toolbar. The user can drag the slider for fast access to the loaded data.
• NEW — The user can now use the mouse scroll button to move through the loaded data. This provides simple and fast access to the loaded data.

The GTK+ MB-System GUI provides functions for manually editing ping data. With the file open in read/write mode, the user can flag or unflag beams manually. From the toolbar, the user can set the edit mode to remove or restore data. The edit mode consists of a point and box selection tools. Both tools work in the plan and cross-section views.

Edits are saved to the MB-System compatible Edit save format (ESF). The associated parameter file is updated accordingly.

The GTK+ MB-System GUI loads and saves to the same ESF file used by MB-System.
