This dialog is for determining the conversion matrix values associated with the rotation of the three dimensional diagram.

The Diagram can be rotated by changing the conversion matrix values from three dimensional values (X,Y,Z) to two dimensional coordinates for display (Horizontal and Vertical values).

Changing the matrix coeffients can be made by the following two ways:

  1. Change directly the matrix coefficients for X, Y, Z axes.

  2. Rotate along the X, or Y or Z axis.
    The conversion matrix will be recalculated to account for the rotation around the selected Axis. Changes can be made using spin edits or scroll bar.
    The maximum and the minimum values are 180 and -180 degree, respectively.

Buttons

  1. "Default" setting for the conversion matrix is obtained by Default button.
    Reset the conversion matrix to the default values. All changes made on rotation of the diagram will be cancelled out and the matrix is reset to the default values.
    Three different default values are prepared:
      XY_z : Normal
        C(1,n) = (1, 0, -0.5)
        C(2,n) = (0, 1, -0.2)
      XY : Binary
        C(1,n) = (1, 0, 0)
        C(2,n) = (0, 1, 0)
      x_Y_z : Traiangle
        C(1,n) = (0.87, 0, -0.87)
        C(2,n) = (-0.5, 1, -0.5)
    Diagram Examples 4a, 4b, 6a will be good examples for those three default settings.

  2. "Previous" setting is for canceling changes in the present setting and recalling the previous one before this procedure started.

  3. OK and Cancel buttons will end this dialog with and without modification.
