Details #!N #!N This module uses a specified camera to create 
an image of an object. #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 #!N 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   object #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the object to 
be rendered, which can contain surfaces, volumes, or combinations of surfaces 
and volumes. Note: The current algorithm does not support coincident volumes 
or volumes in perspective. (See  #!Ldisplay,dxall807 h Display  #!EL  for a discussion of Data 
Explorer rendering capabilities.) #!N #!N The specified object must contain a 
"colors," "front colors," or "back colors" component. Many modules add a 
default color. In addition, volume rendering (i.e., of cubes or tetrahedra) 
requires an "opacities" component. For surfaces, the lack of an "opacities" 
component implies an opaque surface. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   camera 
#!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N is the camera used to create the 
image. 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*   format #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N is

Notes: #!N #!I30 #!N 1. The rendering properties of an object 
(e.g., shading) can be changed with the Options or Shade module 
(see  #!Ldisplay,dxall807 h Display  #!EL  ). Render always invokes the software renderer and so 
ignores the "render mode" attribute. #!N #!I30 #!N 2. Render creates 
24-bit images if the DXPIXELTYPE environment variable is set to DXByte 
(the default is 96-bit images). #!N #!I30 #!N 3. If you 
use the Display or Image tool rather than the Render module, 
Data Explorer will automatically choose a hardware-appropriate format for you. It 
is generally preferable to use one of these tools unless you 
want to operate on the image itself. For example, filtering the 
image or arranging several images together requires the Render module. #!N 
#!I30 #!N 4. The interactive image-manipulation options provided by Data Explorer 
in the user interface require the Image tool. See  #!Lchav,dxall300 h Controlling the Image: View Control...  #!EL  in
