3/15/97 -- for 007-2167-004 comments by fergie (-003 was done by Renate and was for the S/W only --not the printed version-- that included 3D style) This version is for the printed book that will include 3D style. Update to fix figures in Ch 14 and close bugs against those figs. Cindy S. is production person Pete is engineer this go-round README for 007-2167-002 Indigo Magic User Interface Guidelines (Style Guide) Update for 6.2-banyan close bugs improve/fix figs add new stuff fixed figs cstief fixed a lot of figs in photoshop. We hope to print in color. Converted all except TABS to 3.4 IPtemplate on 11/8/95.

In the IMUIG we assumed that users would be interacting with applications using a 3 button mouse because we assumed that these apps would all run on SGI systems. Now we have a few apps (and more coming soon) that run on PCs. I think that we should still assume the three button mouse, leave it out of the 3D section since there is nothing specific to 3D about it, and if we do someday need to discuss a 2 button mouse, then put it in a section that deals with "running your Indigo Magic application on a PC..." (I can feel Pete cringing at the thought! :-) ) ********* This file provides some information about the Beta draft of the 3D Style Guide. It mostlyn discusses some file organization issues, illustrations. 1) Files and folders I've prepared the 3D Style Guide as a book (3Dstyle.book) containing these files: 3Dintro.doc 3DstyleTOC.doc 3Dview.doc select.doc 3Dmanip.doc I'm also going to add an index. The intro is almost the same as the intro of the IMUG, I've added a section on the 3 new chapters. The first real chapter (3Dview.doc) has a hardwired chapter number. Note that I haven't backed up the files onto Bonnie 'cause I wasn't sure where they would go (I'm doing a tape 3 times a week and I'm being backed up remotely). 2) Illustrations There are two types of pictures: a. Frame line art, prepared by me, needs to be done more professionally but will do the trick for now. b. Screen shots I've done one or two screen shots using Annotator (you need the version on sphere to get the viewing fixtures in chapter 12) All other screen shots were done using a set of special programs that Mike Mohageg has. Basically, these programs show only the manipulators for one kind of manipulation at a time; this results in clearer pictures. Here's a message I sent to Mike and his answer: On Mar 7, 2:24pm, Renate Kempf wrote: > Subject: manipulation applications > Hi Michael, > > Remember the nifty little "only one kind of manipulator" applications I was > running to make the screen shots?

A white background works well but is not possible for the scaling pictures. If there was a series of pictures I have at times added straigt lines using FrameMaker drawing tools. March 1996 Renate
