Changing the view of an edit window
CG Infinity offers the same controls for viewing edit windows as Video
Paint: these are the View commands and the Zoom tool. CG Infinity,
however, adds two extra commands to help you work at full screen: the
View: Full Screen and View: Hide Menu Bar commands.
[ ]
+
CTRL U
Clicking View: Full Screen displays the edit window at the current zoom
level occupying the entire screen; in its default mode, the program window
and all docked toolbars and panels are hidden, leaving only your objects
and any floating toolbars and panels in view. Full screen mode is very
useful when you want to edit an object in as much space as possible
without the distractions of the program window. Any floating toolbars or
panels remain visible in this mode, allowing you to continue working on
your object. (To return to the Normal screen mode press the [ ] key.)
ESC
If you prefer to have all the toolbars and panels present, click View: Hide
Menu Bar. This removes the title and menu bars of the CG Infinity screen
only, leaving all other screen elements present. (You can still use the menu
commands with their keyboard shortcut keys. To return to the Normal
screen mode press the [ ] key.)
ESC
Viewing objects
In CG Infinity, you can view objects in one of two modes: Preview or
Wireframe. Preview mode displays objects complete with all their object
attributes, such as fill color, shadow and transparency. While this provides
the most accurate view of an object, it can slow down editing and process-
ing time as CG Infinity has to continually refresh these attributes whenever
you change the view of an edit window or create new objects. To speed
up editing, switch to Wireframe mode by clicking the Wireframe button
on the Standard toolbar or View: Wireframe . This displays only

CTRL D
the path of each object and reduces processing time considerably as there
is less information to handle. (To return to Preview mode, deselect the
Wireframe option.)
Note: To move an object in Wireframe mode, you can only click on its path and not
the area within its shape.
