The first icon button in the
Selection / Navigation Window can be used to set the mode to Selection
Window. In the image on the right you can see that this button, which
looks like a list, is depressed and the title of the window is Selection
window. In this mode you will see a list of data objects, and an eye icon
to the left indicating the visibility of the object. When this eye is
light gray, the visibility of the item has been turned off. When the eye
is black, the visibility is on. This does not necessarily mean that you
will be able to see that item in the display area - it may be out of the
current viewing frustum.
Clicking on an item in the list will make
it the currently active data object. You will see that item highlighted
in yellow. If you create a filter it will be applied to this data object.
In addition, the property sheet for this item will be displayed below
the Selection / Navigation Window. Keep in mind that an item in the list
represents the object used to read / create it (for example the reader,
the source, or the filter), the data object created by that object, and
the objects involved in displaying the data (the mapper, the actor, and
the property). From the property sheet you can access parameters of each
of these objects associated with that item. For example, selecting Cone1
from the list will display the property sheet with the cone source parameters
on the Parameters tab, information about the output of the cone source
on the Information tab, and properties of the actor, mapper, and property
objects used to display the data such as position, orientation, color,
representation style, shading type, and color map options on the Display
tab.
