#324 Greyed-out image of Ravel on load
An empty Ravel in Edit is somewhat uninformative to a new user: Just a square with a circle in the middle. It would help if the default had a shadowed-out rendition of (say) a 4D-Ravel with calipers on one axis. That would give the user an idea of what this unfamiliar object is,
OK, but I have to sheepishly say... that I think my idea of a "greyed out"
Ravel when there are more than six dimensions was a mistake--or rather a
relic of when the angles of the axis labels and the text clashed with each
other. This is now an annoyance when I load the BIS debt data for a video,
since it come in as seven dimensions. I have to reduce by at least one
dimension before what a Ravel looks like is obvious in a recording.
Could this effect be bumped up to say ten dimensions, as a temporary fix?

That's not what this ticket was about. It was about an initial display
of something so that users weren't facing the empty circle.
Re the number of dimensions before fading them out and not displaying
slice labels etc, I'm pretty sure we determined empirically that six
dimensions was about all that you could display fully annotated
without the display getting too confusing.

Yeah, but now with the improvements we made to axis labelling and such in
the last year, six is no longer the maximum. I'd say it's about ten. Can
that parameter value be changed in the code? At some point, we could make
it a user-option, but in trying to show off Ravel in social media posts,
the faded display is more of a hindrance than a help.

Of course it is a parameter that can be easily changed to another
fixed value. Making it a user option is a good idea, but a bit harder
to implement.

Let's go for the parameter edit then. Can you bump it up to 10?
An option can come later, as you say.
I'm starting social media posts tomorrow BTW. And I might contact a friend
who runs a game marketing company as well.

Same here. Not sure why the build process hasn't updated it to
3.6.1. Ran out of time today, so I'll look again tomorrow.
