The toolbar of the Epipolar Stereo Pair - Creation window provides shortcuts for some regularly used menu commands for instance to zoom in on maps, to pan, to mark the position of fiducial marks, transferred principal point, etc.
When you leave the mouse pointer for a short period of time on top of a button, a tooltip will appear with the name of the button / the menu command that it will perform. Also the status bar at the bottom of the window may provide you with a short explanation on the effect of using the button.
You can move the toolbar and dock it along an edge of the window; you can also make the toolbar floating. Some of the actions that are available via the toolbar are also available via the context-sensitive menu.
Tip: For most actions you first need to use the Activate Left Pane or the Activate Right Pane buttons to activate the pane you wish to work in.
