14 2. GETTING STARTED Flight Modes Partiview has four flight modes, listed in Table 2.2. With each mode come two types of flight. These are discussed in Table 2.3. Table 2.2 – Flight Control with the Mouse in Partiview. Shortcut keys are shown in square brackets and are used in the Graphics Window. Button Flight Mode Left (1) Middle (2) Right (3) Scale Fly [f] pan select [p] forward linear Orbit [o] orbit select [p] forward log Rotate [r] orbit select [p] rotate not applicable Translate [t] translate select [p] forward linear Changing the Flight Mode Change the flight mode by selecting a mode from the Flight Mode Menu or by typing one of the shortcut keys (f, o, r, or t) in the Graphics Window. The active flight mode appears below the Flight Mode Menu.
2.3. LEARNING TO FLY PARTIVIEW 15 Motion Description Table 2.3 – Motion Control in Partiview pan Shift your view without moving from your current position, equivalent to looking around by moving your head but not your feet. forward, reverse With eyes forward (looking at the center of the display), moving toward or away (backward) along your line of sight. orbit Orbit about the Point of Interest. If the Point of Interest is in view, this is a simple orbit around that point. If the Point of Interest is not in the display but off to the side, then you will orbit the Point of Interest but look forward, akin to looking away from the center of a carousel as you “orbit” its center. rotate Rotate the view about the Point of Interest. When the Point of Interest is in view, this produces a twisting motion parallel to your screen. If the Point of Interest is out of view, then the data will appear to approach from an angle, similar to the carousel analogy for orbit (above). translate Move in a direction parallel to the display, thereby moving the data across the display in the direction of mouse motion. This is equivalent to moving your feet sideways while keeping your eyes looking straight ahead. Function Mouse Button Table 2.4 – Additional Mouse Functionality in Partiview Keyboard Shortcut Description select middle p With the mouse on an object, click the middle mouse button to produce a report on that object in the Console Window. If you don’t have a middle mouse button, place the cursor on an object and use the p key. Changing the Point of Interest Shift + middle Shift + p Select a data point near the mouse and move the Point of Interest to that location.
