I'm sure someone will have a great solution for you. Off hand, I'm thinking that a radio button would give you your 4 conditions. Your viewer could then have 4 reveal widgets depending on the status of the radio button. Not sure if the radio button widget has a default (it's not in the docs -- the HTML radio button does). But would a default matter after the first use anyways? Or did you want a different setting for each tiddler you are viewing (unlike the "preview" mode which changes every tiddler's view mode).
