Plane

Synopsis

create a plane mesh

Input Port

ui_parent

user interface parent object

Parameters

x-dimension	slider	x dimension of the plane
y-dimension	slider	y dimension of the plane
Transformation Editor	XformEditor	transform and scale the line in 3D space

Output Port

out_fld	Mesh representing the plane
out_obj	output renderable object

Description

Plane generates a 3D plane of variable size that can be transformed in three dimensions. The plane 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. The plane generated is 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

x-dimension
y-dimension

Integer sliders to set the X and Y dimension 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.
