#!I50 #!N is the object to be displayed or to be

#!I50 #!N is the camera to be used to render  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
object #!EF . If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   camera #!EF is not specified, the 
system assumes that  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   object #!EF is an image to be 
displayed (e.g., the output of the Render module). Note: A transformed 
camera cannot be used for this parameter. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   where #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the host and window 
for displaying the image. On a workstation, the format of the 
parameter string is: #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   X #!EF ,  #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   display, window 
#!EF where  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   X #!EF refers to the X Window System; 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   display #!EF is an X server name (e.g., host:0); and 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-i-normal--18*   window #!EF is a window name (and must not begin 
with two #-characters). As a rule, it is not necessary to 
set this parameter. But when it is set, the resulting Image 
window is not controlled by the user interface (e.g., it has 
no menu options). The function of this parameter is to specify 
another workstation on which to display an image (e.g., by setting 
it to "  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   X, #!EF workstationname  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   :0, #!EF message"). 
Using the Image tool, you can display the same image to 
another workstation simply by connecting the module's two outputs to the 
two inputs of Display and setting  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   where #!EF . #!N 
#!N If you are using SuperviseState or SuperviseWindow to control user 
interactions in the Display window, then  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   where #!EF should be 
set with the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   where #!EF output of SuperviseWindow. Note: If 
you are using the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   where #!EF parameter, it is important 
to set its value  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   before #!EF the first execution of 
Display. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   throttle #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N 
specifies a minimum interval between successive image displays. The default is 
0 (no delay). #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   where #!EF #!EF 
#!I50 #!N The output can be used, for example, by ReadImageWindow 
to retrieve the pixels of an image after Display has run.

1. In the user interface, you must use the Image tool 
rather than Display if you want to use many of the 
interactive image-manipulation functions provided by Data Explorer. For more information, see 
 #!Lchav,dxall300 h Controlling the Image: View Control...  #!EL  in IBM Visualization Data Explorer User's Guide. However, see  #!Lsupwind,dxall961 h SuperviseWindow  #!EL  
and  #!Lsupstat,dxall958 h SuperviseState  #!EL  for a discussion of how to create your own 
interaction modes when using the Display window. #!N #!I30 #!N 2. 
The Display module can render surfaces, volumes, and arbitrary combinations of 
surfaces and volumes. (However, the current volume-rendering algorithm does not support 
coincident or perspective volumes.) To render an object, that object must 
contain a "colors" component. Many modules add a default color. In 
addition, volume rendering (e.g., of cubes, as opposed to lines) requires 
an "opacities" component. all surfaces, the lack of an "opacities" component 
implies an opaque surface. #!N #!I30 #!N 3. Choosing appropriate color 
and opacity maps for volume rendering can be difficult. The AutoColor, 
AutoGrayScale, and Color modules use heuristics to generate good values; as 
a rule of thumb, the opacity should be &approx.0.7/T, and the 
color value &approx.1.4/T (where T is the thickness of the object 
in user units). See also  #!Lcvolrnd,dxall820 h Coloring Objects for Volume Rendering  #!EL  . #!I0 #!N #!N #!N
