Command: ortho

Syntax

ortho { <window> }

Display an orthographic view of the model corresponding to the current perspective viewing parameters.

Parameters

• <window>
  A window identifier. The window must be a graphic window. If omitted, the current graphic window is used.

Switches

• -dbt=<num>
  A transition style to be invoked at the end of the contents repaint. This feature is used only when double buffering is active for the window and facilitates presentation-type effects. See here for a description of all available transition styles. If this switch is omitted, the transition style of the window is used (see window.double_buffering).

• -p1=<point>
  A 3-D point defining the front viewing plane. If omitted, the appropriate corner of the window’s orthogonal box is used.

• -p2=<point>
  A 3-D point defining the rear viewing plane. If omitted, the appropriate corner of the window’s orthogonal box is used.

Notes

If the window is not currently in use, or is not a graphic window, no action is taken.

Examples

Draw an orthographic view of the window's box in the current graphic window.

ortho

Draw an orthographic view between two points.

ortho win2, -p1=p0, -p2=my_point

Set viewing parameters then draw view.

persp -pl=75, -el=-60, -fit, -no_draw
