Contour (Plot)
Create a contour plot.
Syntax
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Contour");
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property, <value>);
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).run();
Description
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"Contour") creates a contour plot feature named <ftag> belonging to the plot group <pgtag>. Contour plots are available in 2D and 3D plot groups. Contour lines are colored by their level. Add a color expression attribute to color them by an arbitrary expression.
The following properties are available: 
custom | black | blue | cyan | gray | green | magenta | red | white | yellow
custom | black | blue | cyan | gray | green | magenta | red | white | yellow
colortable | uniform | gradient
on | off
linear | linearsymmetric | logarithmic
The color table to use when coloring is set to colortable. See Color Tables for a list of color tables.
none | reverse | nonlinear | nonlinearsymmetric
Transformation of the color table, when coloring is set to colortable or gradient.
on | off
lines | filled | tubes
{1,0,0} or last used color.
The uniform color to use. Active when bottomcolor is set to custom.
{1,0,0} or last used color.
{1,0,0} or last used color.
If contourlabels is on and labelcolor is custom: The label color to use.
{1,0,0} or last used color.
The uniform color to use. Active when topcolor is set to custom.
none | parent | dataset name
The description of the expression in expr. Is used in the automatic title.
on | off
on | off
linpoint | harmonic | lintotal | lintotalavg | lintotalrms | lintotalpeak
on | off
on | off
If inheritplot is not none: Determines if the color is inherited.
If inheritplot is not none: Determines if the deformation scale is inherited.
none | plot name
Time corresponding to last selected solnum for transient levels.
The time to use, for transient levels. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data is transient.
custom | fromtheme | black | blue | cyan | gray | green | magenta | red | white | yellow
If contourlabels is on: The label color to use. The default value uses a color from the color theme.
auto | filled | lines
Whether to show the color legend as a filled legend or using lines. The auto setting provides a filled legend for filled contours and a line legend for line and tube contours.
number | levels
Round the contour level values, if levelmethod is set to number.
The index of the solution to use, per level, or interp, but only for transient solutions. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data has multiple solutions.
on | off
Whether to reverse to color table or gradient when coloring is set to colortable or gradient and colortabletrans is set to nonlinear or nonlinearsymmetric.
off | pprint | ppr
The element refinement to use, if resolution is set to manual. Bear in mind that this is the refinement used for the base dataset, so the number of elements in the model can increase radically if the plot uses, for example, a revolve dataset.
norefine | coarse | normal | fine | finer | extrafine | custom
none | material | internal | everywhere | expression
Smoothing settings. With material, smoothing is done inside domains with the same material. With internal, smoothing is done inside geometry domains. With expression, the smoothing is based on the expression in smoothexpr.
The expression to use for smoothing when smooth is set to expression.
The index of the solution to use. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data has multiple solutions.
solnum | solutioninfo
manual | parent
If data is a local dataset with nontrivial data, specify solutions manually or take them from the parent plot group.
The time to use, for transient problems. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data is transient.
manual | none
Threshold value (0-1), if threshold is set to manual.
on | off
on if t is used to determine time steps; off if solnum is used.
The title to use when titletype is manual.
auto | custom | label | manual | none
auto, if the title should be computed automatically. custom, if the title should be computed automatically, but customized. label, if the title should be the plot group’s label. manual, if the manual title should be used (the title property). none, if no title should be displayed.
custom | black | blue | cyan | gray | green | magenta | red | white | yellow
on | off
The unit to use for the expression in expr. If the old unit is not valid when the expression changes, the unit property is reset to default.
on | off
Attributes
Color, Deform, Filter (Plot Attribute), Height, AberrationHeight, HistogramHeight, TableHeight (2D only), Translation, Transparency (3D and also 2D, if a Height attribute is used)
