In most of the cases, these are designed to be used sequentially. For example, the Canvas tab needs the geometry of the projection scene which is specified in the Screen tab. Likewise, Projectors tab uses the canvas of the projection scene - defined in Canvas - to specify the projector regions and other attributes.
Screen
The Screen tab specifies the geometry of the projection scene. The following geometries are supported:
...
The Screen starts with a text box entry specifying the Eye position. It is followed by a set of radio buttons used to specify the different modes of operation - Create Box, Create Cylinder, and Manual. The Edit Screens toggle shows the individual screen viewers.
Create Box
...
Create a box with specified Width Left/Right, Depth Front/Back, and Height Top/Bottom.
The Left-Front-Right-Back-Top-Bottom radio buttons enable the corresponding viewers in the scene. The coordinates of these viewers are automatically updated from the dimensions of the box.
Create Cylinder
...
Create a cylinder scene with a given Radius, Height, Angle Range, and Angle Offset. The Wall-Floor radio buttons enable the corresponding wall and disk viewers in the scene.
Again, the coordinates of the each screen are automatically updated from the cylinder combo parameters.
Manual
...
Create projection scenes with arbitrary geometries. Add Plane, Add Disk, and Add Cylinder add a new screen with the corresponding geometry to the scene.
The parameters of each screen are independent of each other. Enabling Edit Screens exposes the screen parameters to be edited.
Canvas
The Canvas tab displays a planar layout of the screens generated in the projection scene. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate examples of canvas layout for a box and a cylinder projection scene respectively.
