extract_component

Synopsis

extract a single data component from a field

Input Ports

in_field	Mesh + Node_Data
ui_parent	ser interface parent object

Parameters

data component

UIradioBoxLabel

select data component

Output Ports

out_fld	Mesh + Node Data
out_obj	output renderable object

Description

extract_component extracts a single data component from any Node_Data. For example, selecting the fourth component of the field (a, b, c, [e, f, g]) results in the single-component vector field ([e, f, g]).

Input Ports

in_field

The input field must contain any mesh and Node_Data objects.

ui_parent

A port to connect to a user interface object that contains 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

data component

UIradioBoxLabel. Radio buttons to pick which data component to send to the output field. The default is the first (0th) selection. If node data labels are present, they are displayed.

Output Ports

out_field

The output contains a reference to the original mesh, with new Node_Data consisting of a reference to the single extracted component in the input Node_Data. Effectively, you have "extracted" a reference to one component of the input Node_Data.

out_obj

This is a renderable version of the output field.
