What Is It?
View Options provide users with a quick way to adjust their view of the plot.
Why Is This Important?
Enabling users to quickly cycle through different perspectives of their plots is critical when gaining the value of 3D visualizations. Different perspectives offer a different lens to the overall takeaways from the analysis. Users have the option to manually rotate visualizations as they see fit but are also granted the ability to quickly cycle through preset views if they are unsure how to manually change their perspective. This makes it very easy for a new user or a user not familiar with analytics tools to quickly gain the value of a 3D visualization through this guided experience.
How?
There are two View Options that users can access in the View menu in the top menu toolbar or from the Contextual Menu; Camera View and Projection Style.
Changing Camera View
- Select the View menu in the top menu toolbar or right-click the plot area to open the Contextual Menu.

Changing the Projection Style
- Select the View menu in the top menu toolbar or right-click the plot area to open the Contextual Menu.
