kDisplaying a Geometry Mode Screen Background Image

In the Geometry mode, you can open an image file (g3p) and use it as a background image for a Geometry mode drawing.

If you open a g3p file, draw something, and then save the result to a file, the g3p file will be saved along with the Geometry mode data.

After opening a background image, you adjust its lightness on the display. See “Adjusting the Lightness of the Background Image” (page 14-37).

Once you add a background image and save it, you will not be able to change the background image of the file or remove it.

uTo open a g3p file in the Geometry mode

1.Perform the following operation: 1(File) – 2:Open.

2.Press 6(STRGMEM).

This displays the storage memory file list screen.

3.Use c and f to move the highlighting to the background image file you want to use and then press w.

If a drawing is currently on the screen, the “Clear current image?” confirmation dialog box will appear.

4.To clear the current drawing, press 1(Yes).

If the file does not contain any Geometry mode data, a dialog box will appear at this point asking if you want to use the Geometry V-Window initial default value. To open the file using the Geometry V-Window initial default value, press 1. To cancel the open file operation, press 6.

If the file already contains Geometry mode data, the file will open immediately.
