Commands to control the graphic output. This command is intended for batch-mode. See also ``Viewing'' for the menu controlled functions.

- ``edge'' triggers the display of the model edges were
- ``elem'' triggers the display of the element edges. They are deselected with the additional parameter ``off''.
- ``surf'' and ``volu'' are used to display the structure either only by it's outer skin (surf) or by drawing all elements (volu).
- ``front'' and ``back'' define which side of the structure should be drawn. Either the side which faces the user or the back-side. If the back-side is displayed then internal structures are visible.
- ``vec'' triggers the vector mode. All vector-entities like displacements are displayed with arrows pointing in the direction of the vector and with a length proportional to the value of the vector. See ``Toggle Vector-Plot'' for a detailed description of the equivalent menu-function.
- ``disp'' will show the deformed structure based on a formerly selected displacement dataset (no entity must be selected). See ``Toggle Add-Displacement'' for a detailed description of the equivalent menu-function.
