In these diagrams, Screen Edge X is 3 <strong>and</strong> Screen Edge Y is 2.<br />

When you change the patch size, the number of patches (tiles) doesn't change, the patches only get<br />

larger or smaller on the screen.<br />

Let's look at the effect of changing Screen Edge X <strong>and</strong> Screen Edge Y.<br />

• Using the Edit dialog that is still open, change Screen Edge X to 30 <strong>and</strong><br />

Screen Edge Y value to 10.<br />

What happened to the shape of the view?<br />

• Press the "setup" button.<br />

Now you can see the new patches you have created.<br />

• Edit the view again.<br />

• Change the patch size to 20 <strong>and</strong> press "OK".<br />

What happened to the size of the view? Did its shape change?<br />

Editing the view also lets you change other settings, including the font size of labels <strong>and</strong> whether<br />

the view uses shapes. Feel free to experiment with these <strong>and</strong> other settings as well.<br />
