eta/DYNAFORM uses two sets of dotted lines to show the contour of a surface.  These lines are called U-V lines.

          U-V LINE

This function controls the on/off display of the U-V line on the surface.

          SURFACE NORMAL

This function controls the on/off display of the normal direction of the surface while the U-V line function is on.

A detailed description of these options is given in the following sections.
