-Sources are the only sound emitters available in wavefront. They emit sound in all directions and can be placed anywhere in the [render area](../ui/render_area.md). Each source is can be assigned a number of properties such as frequency, amplitude and phase depending on the waveforms used.
+Sources are the only sound emitters available in wavefront. They emit sound in all 4 directions (top, left, right, bottom) and can be placed anywhere in the [render area](../ui/render_area.md). Each source is can be assigned a number of properties such as frequency, amplitude and phase depending on the waveforms used.
 
 The following waveforms are available for sources:

 # Render Area
+
+The render area is the main area of the user interface where you can interact with the room and its objects. The render area is also where you can place, move, resize, and delete objects. The visual representation (the texture) of the render area scales with the size of the window. However the underlying data (the simulation itself) is done in a 700x700 grid. Due to this, artifacts may appear at some resolutions.
+
+## Gizmos
+Gizmos appear for each object, when you hover over the area. To get a better view of the simulation, you can hide the gizmos simply by hovering over a different area of the screen.
+
+## Gradients
+
+Rendering happens each frame of the UI-Thread (VSynced to your monitor, usually 60Hz). The simulation is done at a variable rate, chosen by you (see [Quick Settings](./quick_settings.md)). During rendering all pressure values in each cell of the grid are used to lookup a color in a gradient. The gradient can be changed in the [Preferences](./preferences.md).
+
+## Gamma Correction
+
+The pixel buffer used ([bevy_pixel_buffer](https://github.com/Zheoni/bevy_pixel_buffer)) for rendering is in linear color space. This means that the colors are not gamma corrected. To correct this, a gamma correction is applied to the gradient colors using the gamma value 2.2.

 # Toolbar
+
+The toolbar can be used to quickly change between tools that can be used to interact with the scene. For some tools there are additional options that can be set in the [tool options](tool_options.md) panel. For more information on the tools, see:
