PGV Functions

Introduction of functions for Ver.1.5.17
PGV needs one input data file when it starts. There are 3 data file types. One is pgv file(Polygon data). It is made from tool program on Homepage. Others are pdb, xyz file. They are standard chemical data file. PGV can NOT understand a NOT simple pdb file ;-).
You can operate display objects with left mouse button. If you click right button, PGV displays menu like right image. Each top of functions are default states.

Mouse mode You keep push left mouse button and move it. You can below action.
RotateXY	Rotate on X or Y axis.
RotateZ	Rotate on Z axis. It works up, down movement.
MoveXY	Move objects on X, Y axis.
MoveZ	Move objects on Z axis (like zoom). It works up, down movement.

Zoom	Zoom. It works up, down movement.
Clipping	Move clipping plate. It works up, down movement.
LightXY	Move light position on X, Y axis.
