<p>To use SnapPea 3.0's Graphical User Interface, start your
python interpreter, passing it the file <i>SnapPeaGUI.py</i>.
On Unix systems this is trivially easy: just go to the
SnapPeaPython directory (which you should have already downloaded,
as explained on the installation page)
and type <i>python SnapPeaGUI.py</i>.
</p>
<p>You get a main window offering you the choice of reading
a manifold from a file (SnapPea 2.x files work fine) or
loading a manifold from the Cusped Census. (A later release
will include the Closed Census manifolds as well.)</p>
<p>Each manifold you open gets its own window.
The <b>View</b> menu lets you select which features
to view. Many features are already implemented;
those which are not will be available in later releases.</p>
<p>To investigate large classes of manifolds, use SnapPea 3.0's
<a href="SnapPeaScripting.html">scripting interface</a>.</p>
