Viewing the stick figure from different directions
This option is available for both real-time and data file stick figure views.
You can view the stick figure from along any of the three Coda axes, or about a variable
axis which you can control with the mouse. To get a sagittal view of the data, for instance,
you would choose the Y axis. You also have the option of reversing the horizontal axis,
which gives the effect of looking at the same view from the opposite side of the subject.
To change the direction of viewing:
Either: Select the stick figure view (so that it is the currently highlighted window).
Choose stick figure viewing Options from the Views menu. In the dialogue box, select
the axis along which you want to view.
Or: Simply toggle viewpoints with the ‘eyeball direction’ button on the toolbar.
To view the data from the opposite side of the subject, select the Invert Axis box.
