## Rendering Options

Figure 27

VisIt provides support for setting various global rendering options that improve quality and realism of the plots in the visualization. Specifically, VisIt provides controls that let you smooth the appearance of lines, add specular highlights, and add shadows to plots in your visualizations. The controls for setting these options are located in the Rendering Options Window (see figure) and they will be covered here while other controls in that window will be covered in the Preferences chapter. To open the Rendering Options Window, click on the Rendering option in the Main Window's Preferences menu.
