Extended Definition:
1. This command is useful when doing demonstrations, taking a picture of the contents of a view, or just getting a larger image for visual clarity. This includes the area taken up by the prompt, message, and control panel/menu area. The view will remained enlarged until a mouse button or key stroke is entered. At this time the application will return to a state just prior to the fill_screen command entry. This implies that no view operations or other commands may be evoked while the FILL_SCREEN image is displayed (any action by the user will cause the image to be replaced).
2. Each view created has a name associated with it. The view_name parameter is used to identify a view for a particular operation. In most cases, view_name=all is also a valid entry. The all option indicates "all displayed views". There are eight standard views available when the Adams View is started. These views are: front, top, right, iso, bottom, left, and back. The first four of these standard views are displayed by default when Adams View is started. The user may create new views using the 'VIEW MANAGEMENT CREATE' command, and save/restore their attributes.
If the VIEW_NAME parameter is used, the desired view can be identified by picking in the window or entering the name from the keyboard. Typing the name is the only way to identify a stored view that is not displayed.
3. Single frame recording allows you to render complex graphics images using the highest quality rendering modes and record the images sequentially on the laser disc. Upon playback, the recorded frames are displayed at the standard video rate of 30 frames/sec, allowing for smooth, high-quality animation of modeling or analysis graphics.
In addition, laser disc devices allow you to vary the playback rate (unlike video tape systems) to speed up or slow down the resulting animation sequence.
