Improve default perspective and readability of heightmap graph

Open batista16 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Requested feature:

This is a feature request that only makes sense if everyone agrees (as most of them).. on the mesh view, the default view it's with the Y0 XMax closer to you.. that's a really weird prespective I think, it's hard for me to understand where's what, I have to move the thing arround until I get a 0,0 visible.. My proposal is to have it from the front of the printer, like I phisically look at it.. it would also be nice to default to a zoom where everything is in view, including labels.. right now I need to zoom out so I can see the axis labels. Maybe even the panel height can be increased. Default view: image Preferred view: image

I'm totally agree in this.

I'm always lost when I see this graph. First thing I always have to do, it's trying to find the "good orientation" to understand it. And the second thing that's bores me is the Z axis Grid switching from side to side depending on the perspective orientation. I wonder if it's useful or even necessary to display it at all, afterall.

Bay the way, I'm on a Cartesian printer. I don't know if this has an impact on the initial orientation of the bed mesh graph

Agreed too also, the X and Y scales could be by the edge of the bed instead of all the way at the bottom. The Z scale could be a toggle option.
