To fix it, *slightly* reduce the window's width and then height and try again. Sometimes the labels disappear after resizing, but this can be fixed by (again) fiddling with resize. Brief explanation of slider acronyms in the control panel: whl - wheel (type of rotation) spn - spin (type of rotation) flp - flip (type of rotation) arm - arm (type of rotation) wrst - wrist (type of rotation) sz - size zoom - zoom twst - twist (type of rotation) spd - speed n - max number of visible triangles (?) rat - color change rate rng - colormap range IRIS_GT version has an additional control panel for colors. (multi-)slider structure: ___ | R | reset button |---| | X | change slider type (wrap or bounce) |---| |sld| a small horizontal slider which animates the main slider |---| |hhh| maximum slider value | | | | |sss| current slider value | | | | |lll| minimum slider value |___| |lbl| slider label '---' Electropaint also features a script recorder/player which you can use to record your own command sequence and then play it back again. Scripting is possibly the 'most important' reason why Electropaint astounds everyone. On SGI machines, later versions incorporated a default script, which could be dumped and read back as ASCII text. This version does this in binary, so you can't see what's going on in the background. (I might - someday - change it to read/write ASCII files, but don't count on it. You're better off writing it yourself =).
