A graphic screen, either two- or 3D as appropriate, automatically opens in response to a graphic command. Alternatively, you can open a graphic screen with its own command line with keystrokes; Alt+G for a 2D screen and Alt+H for a 3D screen. The graphic screen will have an array of buttons at the top right.

• Red arrows move the image in the x direction.
• Green arrows move the image in the y direction.
• Blue arrows zoom in and out in a 2D screen, and move the image in the z direction in a 3D screen.
• in and out buttons zoom in and out.
• ⊥ button orthonormalizes the graphic.
• button stops and restarts animations.
• auto button scales the image automatically.
• cfg button brings up the configuration screen (see Section 2.5.7).
• M button brings up a menu. The menu has the following submenus:
