Page 13: Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations
Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations Use the device control block to carry out three-dimensional DME transformations. For details of three-dimensional DME coordinate space, see “Three- Dimensional Transformations” in Chapter 1 (Volume 1). Basic Operations This section explains how to use a trackball-type device control block to carry out three-dimensional transformations.
Page 14 Transforming an image in three-dimensional coordinate space Use the following procedure. With the region selection buttons, select the target channel of the operation. You can press several of the buttons simultaneously to select several channels. In this case, the button that you pressed first lights in green, while buttons pressed subsequently light in amber.
Page 15 You can magnify and shrink the image with the Z-ring. Rotate counterclockwise to shrink, and clockwise to magnify. To change the aspect ratio of the image: With the [SRC] button selected in step 2, press the [ASP PERS] button, turning it on. You can change the aspect ratio independently on the x- and y-axes with the trackball, and change it simultaneously on both the x- and y- axes with the Z-ring.
Page 16 • To change on the z-axis, rotate the Z-ring. Parameter values increase as you rotate clockwise, and decrease as you rotate counterclockwise. However, when you have pressed the [LOC XYZ] button to move the image, z-axis parameters increase as you rotate counterclockwise, and decrease as you rotate clockwise.

Macro Operations in the Numeric Keypad Control Block This section describes macro operations carried out in the numeric keypad control block. For an overview of macros, see “Macros” in Chapter 1 (Volume 1). For macro operations in the numeric keypad control block, use the following buttons.
Page 317: Recalling A Macro Register And Executing A Macro
Recalling a Macro Register and Executing a Macro To carry out a macro operation, recall a macro register. Recalling an empty register allows you to carry out macro editing operations. Recalling a register holding a macro executes the macro immediately. To recall a macro register, use the following procedure.
Page 318: Creating And Editing A Macro
• If you start execution of a macro by operating a Flexi Pad control block or a button for which a macro attachment is set, then before the end of execution of that macro you cannot recall and execute a separate macro from the numeric keypad control block.
