Drawing Objects

In addition to displaying particles, Partiview can also draw objects that add context to your data. These include boxes, spheres, ellipsoids, and meshes. For each of these objects, there exist Data Commands and Control Commands. For example, the Data Command box sets the dimensions and displays a box. The Control Command then toggles the box on and off. This is true for all the objects we will describe in this section.
