Show Z Order
Z-order is the arrangement of overlapping two-dimensional objects along
the Z-axis (
Figure 96 ). These objects are perpendicular to the horizontal and
vertical origin.
When using a GUI, windows may overlap and one window may hide part
or all of another window. The Z-order determines which window or object
appears on top of the other when the objects overlap.

Show Z Order Option
Show Z order is a menu option under the View menu. Selecting the Show Z
Order option when a monitor is selected in the Trinix Multiviewer Editor
will display a number in a black square on top of each item. This number
shows the perpendicular order, from least to greatest, for items on the
screen to the viewer’s perspective. Where the largest number is closest to
you, the viewer.
In the example shown in Figure 97 on page 133 , three tiles have been placed
diagonally, left to right, to show their alignment on the Z-axis. An un-asso-
ciated clock is in the lower-left corner.
