Accessing EnSight QuickTools

With EnSight 8.2.6(c), CEI has expanded the supplied collection of user defined tools to include “QuickTools”. QuickTools are a set of simple Python based user defined EnSight extensions that simplify common operations that might otherwise be complex or impossible to do easily in EnSight. QuickTools are provided with complete source code and users are encouraged to inspect and modify them to meet their own needs.

The QuickTools are accessed through the user defined tools icon from the icon strip located below the main EnSight menu bar.
