- NPERS Menu: SCRN / (SOLID) SLUTL
- ==============================================================================
- Changes from perspective to parallel view mode.
- (A nested command in geometric module only.)
- (Applicable in both geometric and solid modules.)
-
- Description:
- This command activates the parallel view mode. The letter `P' (perspective) in
- the status indicator at the top of the screen changes to `L' (parallel) to
- indicate the currently active mode.
- If you are currently in the geometric module or in any of the display modes
- set by the \dsmod command in the solid module, the screen will be redrawn in
- the parallel view display mode.
- If you are in the solid module and the display mode is currently "off", the
- new view will not be displayed until a display mode is specified, enabling you
- to execute a series of manipulations before the screen is redrawn.
- To activate the perspective view, you may use the \pers command.
- NOTE: You may toggle between perspective and parallel modes by pressing Alt+P
- or using the command \onofp.
