Tarsier tutorial: Renderer

What is the 'Renderer'?

Strictly speaking, a renderer is any process that produces a visual representation of some data. So a RasterView is a renderer. However, the Renderer in Tarsier conventionally refers to the main 3D renderer that is used to produce most 3D visualizations.

The Renderer draws 3D scenes described by a wide range of data, including multiple rasters, vectors, sites, etc.

Using the Renderer to view some raster data and nothing else

1. Open Tarsier
2. Open a new Renderer
   1. Select File --> New --> Data Views --> Render View (if its not on the list, you need to load a DLL)
3. Load some RasterData into the Renderer
   1. Select the 'Raster' tab
   2. Select 'Open' on the UseeControl named 'Raster'
