Transform Menu Help in the DAVE master widget

These menu items change what action is performed when the left mouse button is depressed and the mouse is moved while in the DAVE viewing window. See the discussion of the "left mouse" in the HELP of the DAVE master widget.

Rotate

Rotate the objects in the DAVE viewing window.

Translate

Translate the objects in the DAVE viewing window. It is usually easier to just translate using the arrow keys with the cursor in the viewing window.

Scale

Scale the objects in x, y, and z by the same amount. Note: if you don't redefine "home" with "set home" after you do this, then going "home" will undo this scaling operation.

Scale in X direction

Scale the objects in the screen x direction. Pause the view and go HOME first if you want this to correspond to the original x direction in the data.

Scale in Y direction

Scale the objects in the screen y direction. Pause the view and go HOME first if you want this to correspond to the original y direction in the data. Note: if you don't redefine "home" with "set home" after you do this, then going "home" will undo this scaling operation.

Scale in Z direction

Scale the objects in the screen z direction. Pause the view and go HOME first if you want this to correspond to the original z direction in the data. Note: if you don't redefine "home" with "set home" after you do this, then going "home" will undo this scaling operation. See also the -z dave command line option.
