Table 1-3 HP Visualize fx5 and fx10 Graphics Cards Configuring the HP Visualize fx5 and fx10 Driver Option Legacy Quad Behavior Description This option controls how the OpenGL driver handles concave and self-intersecting quadrilaterals. This option is OFF by default. All quads are broken down into triangles by simply splitting them between vertices 0 and 2. This is similar to the behavior of most graphics cards and is consistent with the OpenGL restriction that all polygons be convex. For compatibility with previous HP Visualize fx graphics cards, this option can be turned ON. This will enable extra logic to decompose concave and self-intersecting quads into the correct triangles. Note that even with this option enabled, non-planar quads are not guaranteed to be rendered correctly. Creating Custom Driver Configurations The Options panel allows you to create customized driver configurations for the HP Visualize fx graphics card. These configurations appear in the Application group box. To create a customized profile: 1. Set the desired options in the Settings group box. This will select the Custom setting in the Application group box. 2. Click the Save As button to save the current configuration. You are prompted for a profile name. 3. Type a configuration name in the Save Configuration dialog box. This name will appear in the Application group box. Save As Button Allows you to save the current Custom configuration as a named user-specific configuration. 20 Chapter 1
