General View
Below is a screenshot of the General Preferences View. In this view, you can manage the basic preferences of the desktop image that OSXplanet will generate.
Overview of the Preferences Under General View
• View Planet: This menu sets the image of the planet in the solar system that OSXplanet will generate.
• With Projection: This menu sets the projection type that OSXplanet will render. This is applicable only for Earth.
• Origin Planet: When the "With Projection" setting is set to "As Viewed From:", the Origin menu will appear allowing you to choose a planet to view the planet set under the "View Planet" Menu.
• Centered On: This allows you to set the coordinates that the planet will be centered on.
• Zoom: Zoom will control how much the rendered image will be zoomed. Default: 45%.
• Rotate: This slider will control the 2D rotation of the planet. This option is applicable only projections such as Hemisphere and Orthographic.
• Image Quality: This menu allows you to set the quality of image used for rendering. Note that using the high-quality image will take significantly longer to generate the image.
