\page view_geom_obj_page Viewing geometrical objects

Newly created geometrical objects are automatically displayed in
the <b>OCC 3D Viewer</b>.

<b>OCC 3D Viewer</b> is described in the documentation on <b>GUI
module</b>.

After the object has appeared in the Viewer, you can select it with
left mouse click to change its presentation parameters and access to
other useful options by right-clicking on the selected object.

<ul>
<li><b>Rename</b> - allows to change the name of the geometric
object.</li>
<li><b>Delete</b> - irreversibly deletes the selected object from the
viewer and from the Object Browser.</li> 
<li>\subpage display_mode_page "Display Mode" - allows to select between
Wireframe and Shading presentation.</li>
<li>\subpage bring_to_front_page "Bring To Front" - allows to bring to 
front of the viewer the selected geometrical object.</li>
<li><b>Clear Top Level State</b> - allows to remove from the viewer foreground 
geometrical objects that have been placed there via <b>Bring To Front</b> command.</li>
<li>\subpage color_page "Color" - allows to change the filling color in
the standard <b>Select Color</b> menu.</li>
<li>\subpage transparency_page "Transparency" - allows to change the
transparency of geometrical objects.</li>
<li>\subpage isolines_page "Isos" - allows to change the number of
isolines displayed within a shape.</li>
<li>\subpage deflection_page "Deflection" - allows to change the
deflection coefficient of a shape.</li>
<li>\subpage material_page "Material" - allows to change the
material properties of a shape.</li>
<li>\subpage point_marker_page "Point Marker" - allows to change the
representation of geometrical vertices.</li>
<li>\subpage line_width_page "Line Width" - allows to change the
width of edges and isolines.</li>
<li><b>Auto color</b> / <b>Disable auto color</b> - activates the auto color
mode. When the auto color mode is enabled, the groups created on the
sub-shapes of the selected geometrical object are automatically
coloured by the unique colors. TUI Commands :
<em>go.SetAutoColor(enable)</em>, <em>enabled = go.GetAutoColor()</em></li>
<li><b>Hide</b> - allows to hide the selected geometrical object from the
viewer. TUI Command : <em>sg.EraseOnly(ID)</em></li>

<li><b>Hide all</b> - hides all objects from the viewer. TUI
Command: <em>sg.EraseAll()</em></li>

<li><b>Dump view</b> - exports an object from the viewer in bmp, png,
jpg or jpeg image format.</li>
<li><b>Change background</b> - allows to redefine the background

</ul>

The following commands appear in the Object Browser context menu

<ul>
<li>\ref work_with_groups_page "Create Group" - allows creating groups of geometrical objects.</li>

<li><b>Conceal child items</b> / <b>Disclose child items</b> - hides / shows child
sub-objects in the Object Browser, if the selected geometric object has
child objects. When some child objects are hidden, the name of the
parent object is hilghlighted with bold font.</li>

<li><b>Show Only Children</b> - erases from the current viewer all objects
and then displays only the children of the selected object(s).
</li>

<li><b>Unpublish</b> - unpublishes the selected geometric object from the Object Browser 
and erase it from all viewers. To publish unpublished geometric objects select in the 
context menu of the <b>Geometry</b> root object <b>Publish...</b> item. 
The following dialog box will appear</li>
</ul>
