ILLUSTRATE

This command displays illustrations of characters or taxa (if available). Images of any size, and containing any number of colours or grey levels, can be displayed, but the results will usually be poor if Windows is running in a 16-colour mode (see "Hardware" under "Introduction" for more information). Various options are available through the menu system in the illustration window. Ctrl+DownArrow and Ctrl+UpArrow move between illustrations of the same character or taxon, and Ctrl+PageDown and Ctrl+PageUp move between illustrations of different characters or taxa. This can also be done via the menus. A bell indicates that there are no more illustrations. Ctrl+End displays all the remaining illustrations (of those specified in the command). Esc interrupts this display. "+" increases and "-" decreases the length of time each image is displayed. See also Keywords.

Syntax of command line:
ILLUSTRATE CHARACTERS c1 c2 ...
ILLUSTRATE TAXA t1 t2 ...

where c1, c2 ... are character numbers, ranges or keywords, and t1, t2 ... are taxon numbers, ranges or keywords.
