band data
band data provides a means to color surfaces or volumetric objects (converted to surfaces) in solid colored bands.
band data can contour by both nodal and cell data.
This module does not do subsetting like plume shell or plume. It is used in conjunction with these modules to change the way their output is colored.
Ports
| Direction | Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Input Field | Field | The field to use for contouring. |
| Input | Input Contour levels | Contours | Information required to properly set contour levels. |
| Input | Input Z Scale | Number | The factor for vertical scaling. |
| Output | Output Field | Field | The subset field. |
| Output | Output Contour levels | Contours | Information used to set contour levels. |
| Output | Output Object | Renderable | A renderable object to display. |
Properties
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Allow Run | Boolean | The Allow Run Toggle will prevent the module from running. This allows the user to make multiple changes without the module constantly updating. |
| Execute | Button | The Run Once button will cause the module to run one time even if the Allow Run toggle has been turned off. |
| Contour By | Choice: Nodal Data, Cell Data | The Contour By control selects the type of data to use in contouring. |
| Prepend Contoured String | Boolean | The Prepend Contoured String toggle when selected will add the “Contoured” string to the output data component. This allows the user to indicate the data has been altered by the module. |
| Contour Component | Choice | The Contour Component refers to the nodal data component that will be used to create the contours. |
| Cell Contour Component | Choice | The Contour Component refers to the cell data component that will be used to create the contours. |
| Band Data | Choice: Min of Band, Average Of Band, Max of Band | Band Data assigns the color of each contour using one of three options based on the minimum, average, or maximum value of each band according to your Datamap. |
| Contour Distribution | Choice: Automatically set contour levels, User defined contour levels | The Contour Distribution allows the user to choose between automatically generating contour levels or setting them by hand. |
| Logarithmic Decades | Choice: Log, Unformatted | When the data has been log processed the Logarithmic Decades determines the number of contours. If the Log option is selected the Contours Per Log Decade value is used. If Unformatted is selected the Number Of Contours is used. |
| Contours Per Log Decade | Integer | If the Log Option is selected for Logarithmic Decades the increments per decade can be set with this value. |
| Number Of Contours | Integer | When the data is log processed the Number Of Contours refers to the number of contours per decade. If the data is linear processed the number of contours refers to the total number of contours to be drawn. |
| Minimum Contour Level | Double | The Minimum contour level displays the minimum value of the Contour Component. |
| User Contour Levels | Double | The Contour Levels are user defined levels. |
| Maximum Contour Level | Double | The Maximum contour level displays the maximum value of the Contour Component. |
| Contour Adjustment | Choice: Band Below, Preserve, Band Above | The Contour Adjustment setting allows contour levels to be shifted slightly up or down to ensure that values exactly on the contour line are included in either the lower or upper data band. |
