# This example demonstrates how to set up the viewports (A,B,C,D) to display 

# a horizontally split pane (the Explorer on the bottom and the Camera at the 

# top) and then make sure that the Camera's view display type is set to 

# 'Depth Cue' and the Explorer uses the 'Scene' scope, script names, and is

# filtered for 'All + Animated Parameter Nodes'.

#

# This could be useful as part of OnStartup or OnEndNewScene event if you

# wanted to customize how Softimage appears (for example, if you are using the

# Tools Development Environment and want to retain the double view instead

# of the default when you call the NewScene command)
