- _S_c_e_n_e_V_i_e_w_e_r is a program for viewing and interacting with Inventor scene
- graph files (the SGI 3D file format standard). _S_c_e_n_e_V_i_e_w_e_r was written
- to demonstrate Inventor features, and serves as the basis for the IRIS
- Explorer Render Module.
-
- When SceneViewer is run, a window appears containing the Inventor
- _e_x_a_m_i_n_e_r _v_i_e_w_e_r and a menu bar. The viewer allows the user to
- interactively change the view of the scene through direct manipulation,
- or indirect slider and push button controls. The menu bar contains the
- following menus:
-
- _F_i_l_e
- This menu supports file reading and writing, and launches a dialog
- for printing to a printer or to PostScript file.
-
- _E_d_i_t
- This menu enables copy and paste of 3D data, selecting all objects,
- and deleting the currently selected objects.
-
- _V_i_e_w_i_n_g
- This menu controls viewing options. It allows different viewing
- paradigms to be employed: the _e_x_a_m_i_n_e_r viewer which provides a
- virtual trackball interface, the _f_l_y-_t_h_r_o_u_g_h viewer for traveling
- through expansive data sets, the _w_a_l_k viewer for architectural
- walk-throughs, and the _p_l_a_n_e viewer for orthographic projections.
- The menu also enables different types of transparency, fog effects,
- antialiasing, and background color controls.
-
- _S_e_l_e_c_t_i_o_n
- This menu allows the different selection policies to be
- demonstrated. A selection policy determines how objects get added
- and removed from the collection of selected objects.
-
- _E_d_i_t_o_r_s
- This menu launches the material editor and transform sliders. An
- object must be selected for the menu to be active.
-
- _M_a_n_i_p_s
- This menu allows different manipulators to act on the current
- selection, including the _t_r_a_c_k_b_a_l_l, _h_a_n_d_l_e _b_o_x, _j_a_c_k, _c_e_n_t_e_r _b_a_l_l,
- and _t_r_a_n_s_f_o_r_m _b_o_x. Manipulators can also be turned off, in which
- case selected objects are surrounded with a red wireframe box
- highlight.
