data from remote clients.
· Play - provides playback capability for displaying a quaternion history data file
interactively or in real time.
· Options - provides access to all program settings including animation options,
numerical precision display options, 3D display options, tolerances,
and choice of reference frame.
· Help - displays the program help file that you are currently reading.
· About - provides program version information and access to the QuatView
website for updates.
· Exit - stops all program operations and closes the main window.
The small 3D
View control on the rotation tab GUI also has a link button that, when
clicked, will display a larger 3D viewer that can resized up to full screen. This larger
3D orientation viewer overlays the main GUI as shown in Figure 2 below. The
