CHAPTER 10
Graphic Functions: Rotation, Position, Scale
Y Rotation
The Y Rotation parameter rotates or indexes the selected Graphic Object around the Y axis with
16-bit precision. You can index the rotation or set a continuous rotation creating a horizontal flip
at variable speeds.
This parameter lets you view an object from a different angle by turning the object. You can also
view an object from a different angle by changing the viewpoint in space for the composite
image, (see Global Viewpoint Mode on page 130).
Default DMX Value: 32768 (50%)= No Y Rotation
% of
Value
Range
Continuous variable-speed counterclockwise image rotation around Y-axis (fast to slow)
1–24
Continuous rotation stop
25
Rotates the image counterclockwise around Y-axis in steps to –720 degrees
26–49
0° rotation around Y-axis
50
Rotates the image clockwise around Y-axis in steps to 720 degrees absolute
51–74
Continuous rotation stop
75
Continuous variable-speed clockwise image rotation around Y-axis (slow to fast)
76–100
Tip: Using this parameter you can turn one object through another
Original Object 1 and Object 2
Z Rotation
The Z Rotation parameter rotates or indexes the selected Graphic Object around the Z axis with
16-bit precision. You can index the rotation or set a continuous rotation creating a circular spin at
variable speeds.
