NAME

*graphicsimplificationmode - Sets the default graphics simplification mode.

SYNTAX

*graphicsimplificationmode(mode,style,cur_comp)

TYPE

hm.cfg Command

DESCRIPTION

Sets the default graphics simplification mode. This produces smoother animation when rotating or panning a model by refraining from calculating and rendering some model elements until the model manipulation stops. The default simplification mode for performance graphics can also be set in the graphics subpanel in the Options panel, where the mode is set using view simplification and curComp is set using the simplify current comp check box.

mode

0 - none

1 - automatic (default)

2 - Ctrl-Shift

style

0 - no simplification

1 - feature lines (default)

2 - bounding box

3 - node cloud

4 - element centroid

5 - simplified shading

cur_comp

0 - do not simplify the current component (default)

1 - simplify the current component

EXAMPLES

To set automatic simplification using a node cloud, including simplifying the current component:

*graphicsimplificationmode(1,3,1)

ERRORS

None.
