The four graphic windows present a view at the + currently selected X, Y, and planes with a grid and positioning lines. This + gives a rather incomprehensible view into the 3-dimensional world. + + At the top of Tcl/Tk window are three sliders that can be quickly used to + generally position yourself in the world. As you move a slider, the + position indicator moves in the corresponding plane view window.
