View a selected portion of the design.
Syntax
|
WINDOW < /CURSOR > < /REDISPLAY > |
Description
This command allows the user to view a selected portion of the design. It can be used to examine particular areas in greater detail since the scaling is based on this window. Portions of the design outside this area are clipped.
The area to be viewed is specified by two coordinates, these coordinates may be entered using the cursor (DEFAULT) or on the command line. For Oblique views two 3D coordinates in real space are required, for other views the coordinates are in terms of the local axis convention.
In addition the user may specify the view in which the WINDOW is to take place by selecting the appropriate option, otherwise the current view is used. See the VIEW command for further information of the different views available.
The options CURVE and POINTS cause the system to calculate the Window extents from the current curve data.
Command Qualifiers
|
/CURSOR |
Use the graphics cursor to specify the window. This is the default. |
|
/NEGATE |
This is only valid in OBLIQUE view and causes the system to negate all the Y values when drawing. This gives the visual appearance of seeing the inside of the ship. |
|
/REDISPLAY |
The current contents of the screen are redrawn in the new window. This can be set permanently by using the DEFINE REDISPLAY command. |
|
/TITLE= $W |
A title that should be drawn below the window box. If a title is not specified then a system default is used. This is only valid in PLOT mode. |
