Appearance settings
Several controls are available for changing the display's appearance.
Zoom
Use the
(zoom in),
(zoom out) and
(reset zoom) buttons to alter
the zoom factor. You can also zoom using Shift + right mouse drag vertically
within the display, or with the up and down arrow keys while holding Shift.
Pan
Use the
(pan left),
(pan right),
(pan up) and
(pan down) buttons to alter the
data's placement within the display. You can also pan using Ctrl + right mouse
drag within the display, or with the arrows keys while holding Ctrl.
Rotation
In both 2D and 3D displays, use the
(rotate clockwise) and
(rotate counterclockwise) buttons to rotate the
display, or use the left and right arrow keys while holding Shift.
For 3D displays only, use the
(rotate left),
(rotate right),
(rotate up) and
(rotate down) buttons to
alter the data's orientation within the display. You can also rotate by
dragging the right mouse button within the display, or with the arrow keys
while holding Ctrl + Shift.
Aspect ratio
To alter the aspect ratio of the display (i.e., how "square" or
"rectangular" it looks), type new values into the "Aspect ratio X" and "Aspect
ratio Y" text boxes. For 3D displays, you can change "Z" as well.
Other controls
To toggle whether the display shows a scale along the data axes, check or
uncheck the "Scale" box. Use the "Bounding box" checkbox to toggle the white
bounding box surrounding the data.
Lastly, VisBio allows recording of movies and capturing of screenshots for
any display. To access controls for performing these tasks, click the "Capture"
button. A dialog box will appear for creating screenshots and movies. For
complete instructions on using this dialog box, see the
Capture window topic.
