Introduction

It is possible to save your graphics window as a scene. This enables you to retrieve a graphic display in a simple way.

 

The scene is a grouping of the data and command objects that were used to display the graphical contents that consitute the scene. The command objects are copied into the scene object, while the data is referred to using links. Changing the data will therefore change the scene, even after the scene has been created. Removing the original data will render the scene unable to display itself.
