Windows are JInternalFrames or TopComponents that can contain layers or panels.

Several types of core windows are defined:

• layered windows (for 2D displays):
  • xsection window (for xsection layers, a sub type of layered window)
  • map window (for map layers, a sub type of layered window)
• 3d window (for 3D displays)
• well log window (for displaying well logs in tracks)

Other types of windows are also available:

• cross section window (for cross section layers, a sub type of layered window)
• spectrum window (for displaying spectrum charts)
• spectrum plot window (for displaying spectrum amplitude/phase charts)
• seismic histogram window (for displaying seismic histogram charts)
• well log histogram window (for displaying well log histogram charts)
• fk window (for displaying fk displays)
• ft window (for displaying f-t analysis)

All these windows can be combined into one using the "combined windows" mechanism (see "Combining Windows" link below)
