■ 16 Color Hidden Line. Simulates a hidden-line display. The faces of
polygons are painted in the background color, and the color of visible
edges is determined by the color of the object. You can use any kind of
monitor, including monochrome.
■ 16 Color Filled. Draws faces in their original color but does not shade them.
The program hides hidden lines and traces visible edges in the background
color. You can use this setting on any kind of monitor.
NOTE The SHADE command produces only flat shading.
