Function2D
Create a function 2D plot to visualize a function of two variables as a surface plot.
Syntax
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Function2D");
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property, <value>);
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).run();
Description
 model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Function2D") creates a surface plot feature named <ftag> belonging to the 2D plot group <pgtag>.
Function 2D plots display a function of two variables as a colored 2D surface.
The following properties are available:
