Every perspective is composed of three main sections which are all used in our RCP applications:
The content area is the placeholder for the views and has a flexible grid pattern. We have created 4 panes and the views are organized within these panes as separate tabs.
The left section of the top menu bar has three buttons for selecting different perspectives. The Dashboard is the one that should be used by observers. The Developer perspective requires a login. The Custom/Personal perspective is a place holder for power users to fully customize a perspective to their own requirements. This perspective is not very practical right now because all astronomers use the same account and there is no way to persist a chosen configuration. There are plans for individual institutional accounts which will allow such customization.
