InterferencePattern
Plot the interference pattern resulting from the intersection of rays with a cut plane.
Syntax
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"InterferencePattern");
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).selection(...);
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property, <value>);
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).run();
Description
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"InterferencePattern") creates an interference pattern plot feature named <ftag> belonging to the plot group <pgtag>. The interference pattern plot is used to visualize the interference of multiple rays as they intersect a cut plane. Interference pattern plots can be added to 2D plot groups.
The following properties are available:
