Axis_Glyph2D


Synopsis

create a set of axes to show 2D vector orientation

Input Ports

ui_parent

user interface parent object

 

Parameters

probe_edit

XformEditor

transform and scale axes in space

 

Output Ports

out_fld

mesh representing the axes

out_obj

output renderable object

 

Description

Axis2D creates a set of 2D axes in space. When input into the glyph macro along with a field that has XY vector data, it makes it clear which direction the vectors are pointing. One arrowhead is X, two arrowheads is Y. The glyph macro itself will not scale the length of the axes to the vector data values. The DVglyph base module does have this ability.

Input Ports

ui_parent

A port mean to be connected to a user interface object that will contain the macro's widgets. By default, it is connected to the default user interface object in the application in which the macro is instanced. (This default connection is not drawn.)

Parameters

probe_edit

An XformEditor that controls the position, orientation, and scale of the axes in space. The transformation defined here is added to the renderable out_obj.

Output Ports

out_fld

The output consists of an unstructured mesh of cell type Line whose coordinates are the eight endpoints of the axes' lines and arrows.

out_obj

This is a renderable version of the output field.

Example
