Different types of visualization

Choose a type of representation and press ``redraw''.

• Set the ``cube'' toggle on to have a bounding box around the object.
• set the ``skeleton'' toggle on or off to have (or not) an interactive representation of the 3D mesh. The skeleton consists of parallel cut planes of the boundary. The initial planes chosen are perpendicular to the longer axis of the object.
• You can change the skeleton direction by pushing the ``skel'' button. Three axes ``XY'', ``YZ'' and ``ZX'' are proposed.
• If you want to visualize all the facets composing the 3D mesh skin, set the toggle ``wire frame'' on .
• Another kind of visualization is the ``solid'' one which represents the facets composing the 3D mesh skin with the technique of masking faces.
• The menu ``rotation'' indicates which kind of object is visualized during the rotation.
