combine_node_datas

Synopsis

combine different Node_Datas into one Node_Data with multiple components

Input Port

in[]

Node_Data

Parameters

Output Port

out

Node_Data

Description

combine_node_datas combines several sets of node data (for example, radius and color data), into one node dataset that can be incorporated into a field. It makes each node_data into a component of the output Node_Data. If an input has more than one component, all its components are inserted into the output in order, at the same level as the other components from other inputs.

A Node_Data object represents the values of some dataset at the node points of a field, while the Mesh represents the locations of that field's nodes in space.

These macros simplify the process of generating field data by reducing the amount of data you must supply to create a field. Usually the output of one of these macros is combined, using combine_mesh_data, with the output of one of the mesh mapper macros to create a field.

Input

in

Node_Data[]. This input is an array of Node_Data objects. Each one becomes one or more components of the output Node_Data.

Parameters

none.

Output Port

out

Node_Data. This contains all the components from the inputs.

Example

Not available

File

v/fld_map.v
