SCRIBBLE MODE  a scribbly-looking form of connected vectors representing the stereo image. vertical size relates to amplitude. turning the color option OFF will make the display form filled in one solid color.

CLASSIC MODE  vertical lines representing the stereo image, with size relating to amplitude. turning the color option OFF will draw vectors as unfilled ovals.
