 '''Image Parameters:'''
 
-
+1. You can change the center on your emission map using ''X Center'', ''Y Center'', and ''Z Center''.
+2. You alter the ''Width'', ''Height'', and ''Depth'' of your emission map (the axes).
+3. Choose to lock, so that all input is the same.
+4. Convolution applies to the quality of the image. Making the HV less than 1, typically yields nice results. However feel free to experiment with whatever you think looks best.
+
+'''Camera Parameters:'''
+
+* This is mainly useful for when you are making a movie of your emission map. Say you want to rotate it (''World Rotation''), or get a unique perspective (''Position Angle'', ''Inclination''). You can view the change in the emission map.
+
+'''Group Parameters:'''
+
+* Make sure the ''Render'' box is ticked.
+* ''Slit'' pertains to the emission map. It is the shaded in box that you can manipulate over the top of the emission map. Here you can change the position of the axes, as well as control the ''width'', and ''height'' of the slit. You can also rotate it, save it, show it, and change its color. This needs to correspond to where your data is positioned. You might want to note import radii of your object to help you determine what parameters are best for your slit. 
+* Sometimes the input parameters are hidden for the ''Group'' option, simply click the slit in the emission map view and it'll make the input accessible.
+* ''Velocity'' pertains to the V-part of your PV-Diagram (the x-axis). You can manipulate the center, the range of the domain, as well as how resolved it is.
+
+'''Units:'''
+
+Keep this the default unless you know to change it otherwise.
+
+'''Measurements'''
+
+Keep this the default unless you know to change it otherwise. Although ''PA'' may correspond to ''Position Angle'' for making a video, or viewing the position angle in the emission map. This might be useful for gaining another perspective on the PV diagram as well.
+
+Now that you've gone through all of the parameters for the ''Render Module'', you can now render your ASCII data. Depending on how large your data set is, it may take a while or require a significant amount of memory. However you can control how much of your data you want rendered in the ''3D Module''. Under ''Particles'' you can change the percentage of how much your data will show in ''Shape''.
+
+Your result, using the ''test_sphere_7col.dat'' file should look like '''Image 34''':

+Once you have gone through all of these steps successfully, you can go on to [https://astrobear.pas.rochester.edu/trac/wiki/Shape-Movies make a movie in Shape]. However feel free to experiment with the many parameters in Shape to get the image you're looking for. To test if you really know how to visualize in ''Shape,'' try to visualize the following data sets:

 * Does the ASCII file have to generate a 3D object? What if we have a format string such as {{{px,py,vx,vy,n}}}? Under particles we can import ''Volume'' and ''Surface''.
 * To what extent to the other rendering parameters used for imported external data? (PPC, Jitter, dN, using ''Radio'')
