Description
Line3D generates a line of variable length that can be transformed in three dimensions. The line generated is a simple geometry element suitable for probing fields with modules such as probe and glyph or as a sampling or slicing object input to macros such as streamlines, advector, and cut. Lines generated with Line3D are not intended for constructing complex geometry objects.
Input
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
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.
