   The **Sunflower** GUI

On the left side of the **Sunflower** GUI is the project navigator, as shown in :numref:`figure-Sunflower-GUI-file-navigator-text-editor-plugins.png`. New projects can be created or brought into the project navigation window using the main navigation menu option **File**. Similarly, new Flora ontologies can be added to existing **Sunflower** projects in this window. Other file types can also be added and their corresponding viewer applications launched from the **Sunflower File** option. All new projects and files added to **Sunflower** are shown and can be selected from the project navigation window.

On the top right is the **Text Editor**.  When a file is selected in the project navigation window, this window shows the contents of the currently selected file.

In the middle is a row of tabs, one for each of **Sunflower**’s plugins. These tabs are discussed in their individual sections as follow:

-  Sunflower Console - Sections :ref:`section-Debugging in Sunflower Console` and :ref:`section-Query Execution from Sunflower Console`

-  Predicate Dependencies - Section :ref:`section-Predicate Dependencies`

-  KB Graph - Section :ref:`section-KB Graph`

-  Import Graph - Section :ref:`section-Import Graph`

-  Problems - Section :ref:`section-Syntax Error Reporting`

-  KB Editor - Sections :ref:`section-KB Editor for Content Browsing` and :ref:`section-KB Editor for Content Editing`

-  KB Search - Section :ref:`section-KB Search`

-  Queries - Section :ref:`section-Queries`

-  Query Results - Section :ref:`section-Query Results`

On the bottom left is the primary window of the currently active plugin.  It displays the plugin’s view of the selected file.  For example, this window in :numref:`figure-Sunflower-GUI-file-navigator-text-editor-plugins.png` shows the selected ontology file family.flr from the perspective of the **KB Editor**.

To the right of the plugin’s primary window is the plugin’s secondary window. As in the case of the **KB Editor** plugin, its secondary window is used for showing and editing details of identifier selected in the primary window. In :numref:`figure-Sunflower-GUI-file-navigator-text-editor-plugins.png`, this window shows the details of individual **Aaron** and all his properties.
