Projection Menu


The Projection Menu contains items that affect the size, position, and placement of the image.

Images are drawn as if the eye is at the Viewpoint looking towards the spatial window. Up to 10 viewpoints may be defined; the current one is used.

The Spatial Window acts as a bounding box for computing the extent of the view, clipping vector graphics, and, optionally, particle tracks. The view extents are adjusted so that the entire spatial window is contained within the visible image. The window should enclose and not be much larger than the geometry of interest. Up to 10 windows may be defined.
