 * Major Lines Spacing The distance between two major lines.
 * Major Lines Count The total number of major lines.
 * Major Lines Division The number of sub-intervals between two major lines.

OpenGL

 * OpenGL information Display some information about the graphic card and OpenGL. Useful for checking if Bishop3D is making use of OpenGL hardware acceleration and for eventually helping in the diagnostics of some problem.
