Welcome to your first on-boarding task for the IGB core development team!

We are super excited you have joined us! We hope you will enjoy your time with us and will make big contributions to the code base and the IGB community.

For the next steps, please do the following tasks to get familiar with IGB and how it is used.

Note that this issue has 3 story points.

A "story point" is an estimate for how long a task ought to take. One day is roughly equal to one story point.

This means you should expect to spend about three working days on this "on-boarding" task. Take your time on this task and explore the IGB interface to better understand how it works.

10. Re-create the scene shown at the very end of the video.
11. Then use the camera icon button in the IGB toolbar at the top, or go to File > Save Image to take a picture of IGB showing the scene at the end of the video;
12. Upload that image here as an attachment (you can use the plus icon to the right of Attachments).
