DME
Graphics Display
Graphics display is a function that allows you to display wire frames,
coordinate axes and a grid over the current DME image, to make it easier to
create effects in three-dimensional coordinate space.
Graphics displayed by this function can also be output to the monitor output
connector.
To make graphics display settings, use the DME menu. (For details, see
“Graphics Display Operation” (page 575).)
You can display the following kinds of graphics.
Wire frames
A wire frame displays an image enclosed in a frames, so that you can check the
position and size of the image. If there is a shadow (see page 723), a frame is
shown for the shadow as well.
Coordinate axes
This is a three-dimensional display of coordinates in local or global coordinate
space. You can check the origin of the axes and the directions of the x-, y-, and
z-axes.
Channel ID
This displays the channel number so that you can check which channel you are
using, a useful feature when you are working with multiple channels.
Channel IDs are displayed differently in local and global coordinate space.
• In local coordinate space, the channel number is displayed along with “F” or
“B” to indicate whether you are looking at the front (F) or back (B) of the
current wire frame. For example, “1F” means the front of the wire frame on
channel 1 in local coordinate space.
• In global coordinate space, the channel number is displayed along with “G”
to indicate global. For example, “G2” means channel 2 in global coordinate
space.
