View Configuration

One view parameters can be change by pressing the 'O' key. When pressed, the following popup window is raised:
  • Draw Type lists the possible drawing modes.
  • Iso View sets if the drawing mode will use perspective or iso projection.
  • Light at user: if set, when the drawing mode is flat or textured, the scene is lighted by one virtual light placed at the viewer position. Otherwise, the scene is lighted by the scene lights.
  • Zoom: Set the zoom mode. This parameter is not active in perspective projection mode.
  • Fov: Set the Field of View (in degrees) from 1 to 180. This parameter is not active in iso projection mode.
  • The 'back. Image' button opens a file selection window. When thze user selects an image in this window, the image is drawn in the view's background. The text fields group bellow allow to place the loaded image into the view, by moving (Dx, Dy), sizing (Sx, Sy), rotating it (Angle). This image will only be visible in wire drawing modes. The image can be removed from the view by choosing a background color. The image can be altered with the filters combo. Each time a filter is selected it is applied to the image (the same filter can be applied many times). The available filters are:
    • Lighter: increases the luminosity of the image
    • Darker: decreases the luminosity of the image
    • Low Soften: blurs the image
    • Medium Soften: blurs the image
    • High Soften: blurs the image
    • Low Sharpen: enhances the image

    • Soft Sharpen: enhances the image
    • Horizontal Blur: blurs horizontally the image
    • Vertical Blur: blurs vertically the image
    • Edge: edge detections

    • To Black and White: convertes the image to gray image
    • Invert Colors: inverts the image colors
    • Horizontal Flip: flips the image horizontally
    • Vertical Flip: flips the image vertically
    • Add noise: adds some noise into the image
  • The 'Back. Color' removes a background image if the view has one.
