Thanks Mr.Gib Bogle very much. The advice is quite helpful. First I used Showbox to make sure that there is object presented, then changed to image rotation and I finally could see the image. This kind of expertises are very valuable for the newcomers like me, thanks again.
BTW, I still want expertise to solve the first question in my previous email, that is I am using OpenDx 3.1.4 Window version under Cygwin/XFree86 on Windows 2000. Prompter works but 1)When I tried to import image file (e.g. TIFF), once clicked Visualize Data... button, the system was hung and the following message came out: Internal error detected at "E:\dx\msvc\dx\SRC\UIPP\PROMPTER\FileContents.c":152. .... abnormal program termination I searched my system, I didn't see either E:\dx-msvc directory or FileContents.c file, I don't know what's happen to this. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

If you put Showbox before Image it will create the outline of a box containing the objects in the display, and therefore can be used to determine if any objects are present. You will need to remove Showbox to see the objects. Also, use Reset in the View Control dialog of Image to reset the camera settings to point at the centre of the object scene and render all existing objects. Another point to remember is that if you are viewing a flat surface edge-on you will see nothing - you will need to change the view or rotate the image. (I am quoting loosely from "OpenDX Paths to Visualization" from VIS Inc.)
