interactive labels
The interactive labels module allows the user to place formatted labels at probed locations within the viewer. The data displayed is the data at the probed location. Labels use an expression editor that supports variables derived from the probed data as well as external inputs.
Ports
| Direction | Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Input Z Scale | Number | The factor for vertical scaling. |
| Input | Input Explode | Number | The value used to determine whether the model has been exploded. |
| Input | Number Variable | Number | A value used as a variable in the expression. |
| Input | Input String Variable | String | A string used as a variable in the expression. |
| Output | Output Z Scale | Number | The factor for vertical scaling. |
| Output | Output Explode | Number | The value used to determine whether the model has been exploded. |
| Output | Output Number Variable | Number | A value used as a variable in the expression. |
| Output | Output String Variable | String | A string used as a variable in the expression. |
| Output | Output Object | Renderable | A renderable object displaying the labels. |
Properties
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visible | Visibility | Controls the visibility of the object. Excluded prevents inclusion in supported exports. Locked makes the object always visible in supported exports. |
| Z Scale | Double | The Z Scale is required to assure that labels are matched to scaled input. |
| Explode | Double | The explode factor to apply to each label based on its Explode ID. |
| Export File | File | Export current labels to a .pt (EVS place Text) file. This will also create an .elf to store the leader lines if the Create Leader Line option is selected. |
Label Settings
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| N1 | Double | The N1 value is a floating value that is passed in via the Number Variable port for use in the expressions. |
| S1 | String | The S1 value is a string value that is passed in via the Input String Variable port for use in the expressions. |
| Create Leader Lines | Boolean | Turning on the Create Leader Lines toggle will cause a line to be created from the probe point to the label origin. |
| Probe Action | Choice: None, Reset Position, Add Label | Allows for the changing of the label origin or for adding a new label at the probed location. Only available when the viewer is connected. |
| Forward Facing Style | Forward Facing | Forward Facing Style allows the user to align the labels to an appropriate view and to alter the basic layout of the font. These values are module wide so apply to all Forward Facing selected fonts. |
| Control Expression | Expression | The Control Expression is the expression used by all labels with a linked Expression value. Supports variables: {N1}, {S1}, {CoordinateX}, {CoordinateY}, {CoordinateZ}, {Name}, {Value}, {Units}. |
| Labels | Interactive Labels | The list of placed labels and their individual settings. |
