            is not available in version 1.2..

  It is to be noticed, that once an object is plot
  ted, the mode of an object cannot be changed.

##################################################

:VCX_scene_style

- Style

  This menu is used to decide how the current ob-
  ject will appear in the canvas of the base-win-
  dow. The available options are depending on the
  mode of the corresponding object. In case the
  mode of the object is Curve, the options read:

  Points      - only plotpoints are drawn.
  Lines       - lines, connecting two subsequent
                plotpoints are drawn.
  LinesPoints - plotpoints as well as lines are
                drawn.
  Impulses    - Lines connecting the plotpoints 
                and the corresponding points at 
                the bottom of the ViewingBox are 
                drawn.

  In case that the mode of the current object is
  Surface the options availabel are:

  Points       - only the plotpoints are drawn.
  WireFrame    - a wire model of the object is
                 drawn.
  HiddenLine   - a wire model of the object is
                 drawn, where the lines which can-
                 not be seen for the chosen posi-
                 tion are hidden.
  ColorPatches - coloured patches are drawn.
  DepthCueing  - As above, but the single patches
                 are not filled completely. The 
                 patches are filled with patterns.
                 By use of different patterns we 
                 simulate transparent objects.

  In addition the style of points and lines as
  well as the width of them are predefined by the
  default-values. These options can also be chan-
  ged by use of the properties-window.

##################################################

:VCX_scene_mesh

- Mesh

  In addition the user can choose, which parameter
  lines are drawn. The possibilities are depending
  on the current style of the object displayed in 
  the manipulation-window. If case that the style
  is WireFrame or HiddenLine the options are:

  Mesh  - both parameter lines are drawn.
  ULine - only the lines for the first parameter 
          are drawn.
  VLine - only the lines for the second parameter
          are drawn.

  In case of ColorPatches or DepthCueing the pos-
  sibilities are:

  Only     - no parameter lines are drawn.
  AndMesh  - both parameter lines are drawn.
  AndULine - only the lines for the first parame-
             ter are drawn.
  AndVline - only the lines for the second para-
             meter are drawn.

##################################################

:VCX_scene_color

- Color

  By use of this button the colour of the actual
  object is determined. We offer the following op-
  tions:

  Flat     - the object only contains one colour.
             This will be the colour which is spe-
             cified at the starting at button.
  Height   - the colour of the object depends on 
             two values for starting at and ending
             at and the height of the object.
  Func     - the colour of the object is calcula-
             ted by use of an user defined colour-
             function. This option is not imple-
             mented in version 1.2..
  Physical - the colour of the object is calcula-
             ted by use of the physical laws de-
             pending on the chosen lighting model. 
             This option is not implemented in the
             current version 1.2.

##################################################

:VCX_scene_star

- starting at

  This item serves for choosing the starting co-
  lour of the current object. In case this item is
  activated the color-window will popup on the
  screen.

##################################################
:VCX_scene_end

- ending at

  This button is used to determine the ending co-
  lour of the current object. In case this item is
  activated the color-window will popup on the 
  screen.

##################################################

:VCX_scene_function

- Functions

  Here the parametrizations of the object are re-
  quested. The number of variables depends on the
  mode and the dimension of the current object.
  In case of a twoddimensional object with mode
  equal to Curve the two funstions x(u) and y(u)
  depend on one variable parameter. These func-
  tions describe the x- and y-coordinates of the
  curve. 
  In case that the object is threedimensional and
  the mode is equal to Curve, the functions x(u),
  y(u) und z(u) describe the x-, y- and z-coordi-
  nates of the spacecurve. In common these func-
  tions only depend on one variable parameter.
  In case that the object is threedimensional and
  the mode is equal to Surface the functions 
  x(u,v), y(u,v) and z(u,v) describe the x, y- and
  z-coordinates of a surface. These parametriza-
  tions depend on two variable parameters.
 
##################################################

:VCX_scene_color_function

- Colorfunction

  In fact that functional colour is choosen, the
  name of the user-defined colourfunction is re-
  quested as input.

##################################################

:VCX_scene_range

- Range

  These textfields are used to determine the ran-
  ges in which the parametrizations are evaluated.
  The number of ranges depends on the current di-
  mension and mode of the object.
  In case the object is twodimensional, only one
  range is requested as input. 
  This is also the case if the object is a space-
  curve.
  If the actual object is a surface, two ranges 
  are requested as input.

##################################################

:VCX_scene_indet

- Names of the independent variables

  Theses textfields are used to name the indepen-
  dent variables. These are the parameters the
  parametrizations are depending on. The number 
  of variables depends on the dimension and the
  mode of the current object. 
  In case the object is a 2D-curve or a space-
  curve, only on variable is requested.
  In case of a surface two variables and the
  ranges, of course, are requested.
