| Shadow Box Images |
The Viewer now has a special option that allows you to display a "Shadow
Box" around the cave. With the Shadow Box options, the program draws a box
around the cave and mirrors the cave on the walls of the box. The option
makes it easier to see 3D aspects of the cave. The program gives lots of
options for controlling which walls are mirrored and the placement of the
walls.
