Virtual image of growing crystal surface during numerical simulation.
The "View" panel of LeoMonteCrystal aims to visually present
current state of growing crystal surface.
The Fig. 1 shows screenshot of the “View” panel.

There are three variants to show surface implemented into LeoMonteCrystal these
could be switched to one from another at any moment by clicking on the
corresponding icon at upper right corner of the main screen:

Monochromic map of the surface. The difference in distance of
molecule from average advance of the surface is represented with different
shadows of one colors of rectangles representing molecules at
surface. The deeper position of the molecule on surface the darker
representing color is. This way of presentation is recommended
for fastest performance of the program that is specifically important when
running experiment plan.
-
3D look at perspective projection. This option provides atomic
microscope like natural view of the virtual surface during numerical
simulation of the growth. The point of observation could be changed
pressing keyboard arrows buttons alone and together with Ctrl
key:
← or → - rotate horizontally around center
of the simulation field;
↑ or ↓ - rotate vertically around center of
the simulation field;
Ctrl+ ← or → - changing magnification of the
view on simulation field;
Ctrl+ ↑ or ↓ - moving vertical position of observing point.
There are also several other helpful short keys to use:
i - restores initial point of view on the simulation field
that incidentally is in apparent coherence with monochromic map
view as it shown at Fig. 3;

s - interrupts simulation process;
r - resumes simulation after been stopped;
-
Stereo blue/red image. The same as previous except there
are two images of surface one painted red and other blue made
from two points of view, like for two eyes, are overlapped as
Fig 4 displays:. Using blue/red glasses it's possible to resolute
two images for left and right eyes for observing stereo image.
