Fline3D

Synopsis

create a line mesh moveable in three dimensions scaled to an input field

Input Port

in	field with a 3D mesh
ui_parent	user interface parent object

Parameters

Output Port

out_fld	Mesh representing the line
out_obj	output renderable object

Description

FLine3D generates a line of variable length. This line can only be transformed in three dimensions. It will be located at the center of the input field's Y and Z extents, and will be X extents long. The line is useful as a sampling or slicing object input to macros such as streamlines, advector, and cut.

Input

in

A field with a 3D mesh.

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

x-dimension

An integer slider to adjust the line's X dimension. The default is 8, the range is 2 to 100.

Transformation Editor

An XformEditor that controls the position, orientation, and scale of the object in 3D space.

Output Port

out_fld

The output consists of a Line_Mesh whose coordinates are the endpoints of the line.

out_obj

This is a renderable version of the output field.
