CST2013: 3D Scalar Plot Special Settings

2D/3D Plot: Properties Specials

Scaling frame

Scale components to vector maximum: Check this if you want all components (x/y/z) scaled to the vector maximum. Thus you can compare different components. If not checked, the components are scaled to their own maximum.

Clamp to range: Check this if you want to scale your plot to a range defined below in the Min / Max input fields. This is useful to compare plots with different maximum values. Values outside the range are clamped (plotted as equal) to the maximum / minimum.

Please note: Scaling and logscale is disabled if clamp to range is active.

Anchor point: Defines a suitable anchor point for a logarithmic color ramp according to different strategies. Select "custom" to set a value manually if the relevant range of interest can not be determined automatically (e.g. potential or temperature plots).

Anchor value: Current value of the active anchor point.

Plot quality slider

Plot data is represented by triangles. This slider enables you to influence the number of triangles used for your plot. A fine plot quality will result in a longer plot generation time and thus also in slower movies.

Show surface mesh

Visualizes the triangular mesh of a 3D surface plot.

Note: This option is only available with tetrahedral meshes.

OK

Takes the current settings and closes the dialog box.

Cancel

Closes the dialog box without performing any further action.
