view control bar
As we step through each of the visual styles, note that the Show Ambient Shadows setting
has been enabled. The Wireframe view style (Figure 11.8) maintains only the edges of objects.
Faces are hidden.

The Hidden Line view style keeps both the edges and faces visible (Figure 11.9). This view
style is used by default in 2D and 3D views.
The Shaded view style shows faces in their shaded value with accentuated edges
(Figure 11.10). Note the change in color depending on an object's orientation. This effect is
particularly pronounced on curved surfaces.
