VTK viewer in Post-pro module provides two ways of user style navigation modes: Standard and Advanced. Switching between them is allowed with Interaction Style Switch button from Viewer Toolbar:
user interaction style supports processing of mouse and keyboard events with the following assignments:
Dynamic rotation | ![]() | |
Dynamic panning | ![]() | |
Dynamic zoom | ![]() |
style makes it possible to manipulate objects without keyboard keys,
Dynamic rotation | ![]() | |
Dynamic panning | ![]() | |
Dynamic zoom | ![]() |
Selection also depends on the user interaction style. With the Standard style Selection is activated by pressing left mouse button, while with the Advanced style selection is done by pressing S key.
It is possible to customize the sencibility of each view operation (rotation, panning and zooming) by pressing + or - keys to increase or decrease the speed.
VTK viewer also allows to manipulate objects using keyboard keys.
Dynamic rotation | Left Arrow, Right Arrow , Up Arrow, Down Arrow | ![]() |
Dynamic panning | Up Arrow, Down Arrow | ![]() |
Dynamic zoom | [PageDn] | |
Speed increment | [ - ] |
VTK viewer also allows to manipulate objects using a spacemouse.
The spacemouse introduces a local coordinate system and 6 degrees of freedom, which are independent from the 3D view coordinate system.
The movement of 3D models in the screen depends on the user manipulations with the controller head.
Dynamic rotation about axis X | ![]() | |
Dynamic rotation about axis Y | ![]() | |
Dynamic panning | ![]() | Move left and right to move the model left and right. |
Dynamic zoom | ![]() |
Buttons of the spacemouse are also used to change the magnification for Gauss points:
By default, buttons are defined as follows, however the user can change them in the preferences:
Decrease by 1 speed increment used for the keyboard (the same as [-] key) | |
Increase by 1 speed increment used for the keyboard (the same as [+] key) | |
Divide the current magnification by the magnification ratio | |
Multiply the current magnification by the magnification ratio | |
Toggle button to switch to dominant or combined movements |
