Grid
This is a grid pattern covering the whole of the monitor
screen.
The grid makes it easy to set the position of an image in
two-dimensional space.
Graphics display, shrinking
You can shrink the graphics display so that you can see
beyond the range displayed on the normal monitor screen.
This makes it possible to visually set the location of images
in a larger space. The range displayed on a normal monitor
screen is indicated by a frame.
Automatically erasing the graphic display
Enable [Auto Erase] to automatically erase the graphics
display when a keyframe is executed. The graphics display
is redisplayed after the keyframe ends, after the time set by
the [Recover Time] parameter.
Flex shadow center axis
When using the flex shadow function (see page 214),
enabling [Flex Shadow Axis] displays the center axis of
the flex shadow shape. This is an effective aid when
configuring a flex shadow.
Three-Dimensional Parameter
Display
You can check the three-dimensional parameters for the
current image.
When more than one DME channel is selected, the status
of the reference channel is displayed.
For details about the parameter display, see “Three-
Dimensional Parameter Display” (page 205).
