Here is a screenshot of in action
Main Window
The main window of has three main parts: the editor (1) on the left where you type the commands, the the canvas (2) on the right where the turtle make your drawing, and the inspector (3) which gives you information when your program executes. Besides these you find the menu bar (5) from where all the actions can be reached, the toolbar (4) that allows you to quickly select the most used actions, the Console, that you can use to enter a one line command to test it, and the statusbar (along the bottom of the window) where you will find feedback on the state of .

The Editor
In the editor you type the commands. Most of functions of the editor can be found in the File and Edit menus. The editor can be docked on each border of the main window or it can be detached and placed anywhere on your desktop.
You have several ways to get some code in the editor. The easiest way is to use an example: choose File Examples in the File menu and select an example. The file example you choose will be opened in the the editor, you can then use Run Run from the menubar or the Run from the toolbar to run the code if you like.
You can open files by choosing File Open....
The third way is to directly type your own code in the editor or to copy/paste some code.

The Canvas
The canvas is the domain of the turtle, here the turtle draws according to the commands it gets. After getting some code in the Editor and executing it, two things can happen: either the code executes fine, and will you most likely see something change on the canvas; or you have made an error in your code in that case the error tab will appear explaining you what mistake you made.
You can zoom in and out the canvas with your mouse wheel.

The Inspector
The inspector informs you about the variables, the learned functions and show the code tree while the program is running.
The inspector can be docked on each border of the main window or it can be detached and placed anywhere on your desktop.

The Toolbar
Here you can quickly reach the most used actions. The Toolbar also contains the Console where you can quickly invoke commands, this might be useful in case you want to test a command without modifying the content of the Editor.
You can configure the toolbar using Settings Configure Toolbars... to better fit your preferences.
