%GRAPHICS WINDOW % % The GRAPHICS WINDOW is the window to the right of the %Control Panel. It has axes corresponding to the unit %square. In it, the functions in the FRACTORY workspace %are represented as the image of the unit square under %that function. The "current function" (see FCN SELECTION) %is represented by a purple solid line and four buttons. %All other functions are represented by white dotted lines %if they are currently "on" (see FCN SELECTION). They are %not visible if they are "off". Clicking the mouse button %over the interior of a function selects that function as %the "current function." If the pointer is in the interior %of several functions simultaneaously, successive clicks %cycle through all such functions. The final fractal %images are also drawn in the GRAPHICS WINDOW using the same %axes (see DRAW FRACTAL). % The current function has four buttons, or "handles" %attatched to it (not to be confused with MATLAB's graphics %handles). Three are at the controlable corners (see %CORNER CO_ORDS) and the fourth is at the center of the %square. These handles allow the user to manualy manipulate %the function. To activate a handle, you must press the %mouse button AND THEN RELEASE IT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MOVE %THE HANDLE WHILE HOLDING DOWN THE MOUSE BUTTON. Pressing %and releasing the mouse button while the pointer is over %a handle activates that handle. The handle will then %follow the pointer until the mouse button is again %pressed and released. Moving a corner handle moves that %corner of the square (and thus the fourth corner W), while %the other corner handles remain fixed. The central %label-less handle translates the entire square, similarly %to the SHIFT controls (see SQR TRANSFORM). Using these %handles updates all information on the Control Panel, %including the FUNCTION ON box, which is deactivated when %any part of the square goes out of bounds (see FCN %SELECTION). % % ...Move the pointer over this window and % press any key to continue...
