Transforming an Image

Transforming an image lets you view it from any direction and modify its size.

Rotating an Image

Rotating an image lets you view it from any angle, giving you better visualization to analyze the data. You can rotate any Volume window image and three-dimensional images in the surface windows; you cannot rotate two-dimensional images. To rotate an image:

Select the [Xform] global button, then select

[Rotate 1]	to rotate the image in the Volume window or a three-dimensional image in a surface window.
[NOR rotate]	to rotate the NOR cutting plane.
[Rotate all]	to simultaneously rotate the images in all four windows, except for two-dimensional images.

Position the cursor within the Volume window or surface window and drag the cursor in any direction. The image becomes wire mesh during the rotation process. It returns to its original format when rotation is complete.

Note that if you have a point cloud with many data points, turning it off before rotating will speed the process. Once you reach the new angle (using the bounding box), turn the point cloud on again. Also, note that rotating an image may cause labels to become obscured. To make them visible again, select the Axis global button, specify which window, and click the axis where you want to relocate the labels.

Zooming an Image

Zooming lets you move an image nearer or farther away, making it smaller or larger proportionally. To zoom an image:

Select the [Xform] global button, then select [Zoom].
Position the cursor within the Volume window or surface window and drag the cursor left (to push the image farther away) or right (to bring the image closer to you).
