Polytron32 Manual - written by Steve Klinger

The Alignment Display is a graphical representation of a set of tiled textures used to display a representative of the current polygon. It is used as an aid for texture alignment when using the alignment tools found in the Object Browser. It is called by selecting an icon on the Main Toolbar.

• Texture Polygon - A representative image of the current polygon. This is not the real polygon and does not necessarily represent the shape of the polygon. What it does show is the texture pattern contained within the polygons boundaries. This polygon can be manipulated by mouse, but this is currently buggy and not recommended.
• Vector Tile - The vector tile represents a one by one texture.
• U Vector Line - This demonstrates where a 0.0 U Vector resides in the display.
• V Vector Zero Line - This demonstrates where a 0.0 V Vector resides in the display.

The Texture Polygon and the individual UV Vectors can be move with the mouse. Left-clicking a point on the Texture Polygon will select and make current that UV Vector. A Shift-Left Mouse-Drag will move the current UV Vector. And a Shift-Right Mouse-Drag will move the entire Texture Polygon.
