GRAPHICS FUNCTION
Two graphic functions are available. One is a graphic display function,
and the other is a dynamic graphic display function.
The graphic display function can draw the tool path specified by a
program being executed on a screen. The graphic display function also
allows enlargement and reduction of the display.
The dynamic graphic display function can draw a tool path and machining
profile.
In tool path drawing, automatic scaling and solid drawing are possible.
In machining profile drawing, the status of machining in progress can be
drawn through simulation. Blank figures can also be drawn.
The background drawing function enables drawing to be performed by
one program while machining is performed by another program.
This chapter mainly explains drawing procedures and drawing
parameters for the following:
1. Drawing the tool path specified by a program being executed, with the
graphic display function
2. Drawing the tool path with the dynamic graphic display function
