Previous: Pick Item Mode Submenu
From the popup menu you can control certain settings for the graphics
display window. This submenu is used to control what stereo mode is
available, and how the 3D graphics are projected onto the 2D screen.
The commands available in this menu are:
- Display Modes Perspective
In perspective mode, items closer to the viewer appear larger than
items further away from the viewer. This is the default projection in VMD.
Selecting this option sets the display for perspective projection.
- Display Modes Orthographic
In orthographic mode, graphical objects are merely projected straight
onto the screen, with no consideration of their distance from the viewer.
Selecting this option sets the display to use orthographic projection.
- Display Modes Stereo Off
This command sets the display window back to a non-stereo mode, if it was in
another mode displaying stereo images.
- Display Modes CrystalEyes
Selecting this mode tells VMD to display the graphics in stereo, using
Stereographics Corp. Crystal Eyes stereo equipment (if available). In this
mode, the monitor is set to a special scanning state to display overlapping
left and right eye images, and the user must wear special glasses to see the
stereo image. This is described in depth
in section §.
- Display Modes CrossEyes
- Display Modes SideBySide
In these stereo modes,
the graphics display window is split into two side-by-side
halves, and separate right and left eye images are shown in the two halves.
The differences in CrossEyes and SideBySide modes are in which eye's image
is shown in which half of the screen.
- Display Modes Left
- Display Modes Right
These stereo display modes actually only show a single image; the image shown,
however, is that which would be shown for the left or right eye, respectively,
if any of the other stereo display modes were selected.
