D3D/OSD Histogram
The OSD Histogram Chart
pinpoints the Z-axis range
upon which 3D objects
appear as well as how they
gather.For example, if the
above chart (simulated)
was displayed for a car
racing game, the vertices to the left of the E line could be the model of the game
player’s car, and those objects to the right of the E line could be the road, houses,
other cars or trees in front of the car.
So, with this information, the user may:
• Adjust embossment by moving the E line.
• Adjust foreground/background, thus stretching out the histogram to make
objects more evenly distributed.
NOTE: Using the histogram chart requires games using Direct3D
