Usages

viewsnapshotoption [-s on|off] [-h on|off] [-a alpha] [-v objects] viewer

This command can set the value of snapshot alpha blending, specify the objects that are visible when a snapshot is taken, and set the flags options for the snapshot memory.

A viewer argument is a name of a pane for viewing the scene. A viewer can be subdivided into up to four viewports (such as top, left, front, and perspective).

Viewers have names of the form “desk.pane.type”, where:

desk	The name of the desk containing the viewer pane.
pane	The name of the viewer pane.
type	“world”, “particle”, or “texture”, depending on the contents of the pane.

If no options are specified, the command that sets the current options is printed out.

See how to refer to viewers and viewports .

`-h on\|off`	This flag determines whether handles are hidden when a snapshot is taken
