Fplane

Synopsis

create a plane mesh scaled to an input field

Input Port

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

Parameters

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

Output Port

out_fld	Mesh representing the plane
out_obj	output renderable object

Description

FPlane generates a 3D plane of variable size. This FPlane can be transformed in three dimensions. It will be located at the center of the input field's Z extents, and will be X and Y extents long. The plane 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
y-dimension

Integer sliders to set the X and Y dimensions of the plane. The default for both is 8. Their range is from 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 Plane_Mesh whose coordinates are the four corners of the plane.

out_obj

This is a renderable version of the output field.
