<H2>Instrument Visualisations</H2>
<B>Tao</B> is capable of producing visualisations of the instruments constructed
when a script is invoked. We have already seen one example of this is figure
<A HREF="UserManual_22.html#2">*</A>, but in that example the instrument only showed a
single circular sheet of material. Figure <A HREF="#2">*</A> shows a
<EM>compound instrument</EM><A NAME="1"> consisting</A> of five strings attached to a
rectangular sheet. Access points are marked by small red points on the image
and in this case they show that the left hand sides of each string are
coupled to points on the rectangular sheet.

<P><P>It is possible to translate, zoom, and rotate the image by holding down the
left, middle and right mouse buttons respectively and moving the mouse.
<B>Tao</B> automatically labels instruments and devices with their names
(the names they are given when they are created in a script) and it is
possible to toggle both types of labels on and off in cases where the
graphics window becomes too cluttered with information. This is achieved
by pressing the <B>I</B> key to toggle instrument labels on and off,
and the <B>D</B> key to toggle device labels.
