:'''View Previous''' – redraw  everything in the graphics window. Selecting the ''View'' | '''Previous View''' command of the ''Display'', or the ''View Previous'' macro [[Image:WMSImage012.png]], restores the ''Graphics Window'' viewing parameters to those in place before the last viewing command was issued ([[WMS:Static Tool Palette|rotate]], [[WMS:Static Tool Palette|zoom]], [[WMS:Static Tool Palette|pan]], etc.).  A macro for this command appears in the ''Macro Tool'' palette.
*'''Perspective View''' [[File:Oblique View Macro.svg|14 px]] – Draw all  data in a 3-dimensional oblique view. Selecting the ''Display | View'' | '''Oblique View''' command, or the '''Prespective View''' macro, restores the bearing and dip angles to their previously defined values and causes the image to be viewed from an oblique perspective.  The '''Rotate''' [[Image:Rotate Tool.svg|16 px]] tool can be used to alter the angle of view.
 
*'''Plan View''' [[File:WMS PlanViewMacroIcon.svg|15 px]] – Draw all data in  plan view (looking down from above). Selecting the ''Display | View'' | '''Plan View''' menu command, or the '''Plan View''' [[File:WMS PlanViewMacroIcon.svg|15 px]] macro, changes the viewing angles so that the image is displayed such as to look down at the z-axis with the x-axis horizontal and the y-axis vertical.
:'''Perspective View''' – draw all  data in a 3-Dimensional oblique view. Selecting the ''Display | View'' | '''Oblique View''' command, or the ''Prespective View'' macro [[Image:WMSImage009.png]], restores the bearing and dip angles to their previously defined values and causes the image to be viewed from an oblique perspective.  The '''rotate''' tool [[Image:WMSImage010.png]] can be used to alter the angle of view.
*'''Frame''' [[File:WMSIcon Frame.png]] – Center and redraw all data in the graphics window. After altering the image display using the [[WMS:Static Tool Palette|'''Zoom''']] or [[WMS:Static Tool Palette|'''Pan''']] tools, the image can be centered by selecting the '''Frame Image''' command in the ''View'' menu.  This command adjusts the window boundaries so that all currently visible objects just fit in the ''Graphics Window''.  It does not affect the viewing angle.
 
*'''Display Options''' [[File:Display Options Macro.svg|16 px]] – Set the  display options. See the article [[WMS:Display Options|Display Options]] for more information.
:'''Plan View''' – draw all data in  plan view (looking down from above). Selecting the ''Display | View'' | '''Plan View''' menu command, or the ''Plan View macro'' [[Image:WMSImage011.png]], changes the viewing angles so that the image is displayed such that the user is looking down the z-axis with the x-axis horizontal and the y-axis vertical.
*'''Contour  Options''' [[File:Contour Options Macro.svg|16 px]] – Set the contour display options. See the article [[WMS:Contour Options|Contour  Options]] for more information.
