Isosurface (Plot)

) plot in 3D. An isosurface plot displays a quantity as a colored set of isosurfaces on which the result has a constant value. The plot can also color isosurfaces based on an independent quantity. You can move the isosurfaces interactively. Add Color Expression, Deformation, Filter, Selection (Plot Attribute), Translation, or Transparency subnodes as needed. Right-click a to add this plot type.


	Before plotting, select the Interactive check box to move the isosurfaces defined in this Isosurface node interactively using the slider or by entering a shift in the Shift field. A zero shift represents the original position of the isosurfaces.

Coloring and Style

From the list, choose (the default), to plot isosurface as surfaces, or , to plot isosurfaces as filled volumes. For the filled isosurfaces, it is recommended to use transparency for the plot.

If you chose , select the check box to add labels for the isosurface levels.

If you chose , the check box is selected by default. Clear this check box if you do not want filled volumes for levels above and below the isosurface levels. Also, select the check box if you want to include any interior boundaries in the filled isosurface plot.

For coloring the isosurfaces, select one of the following options from the list:

•

Select (the default) to color the contours using a color table that you choose from the list below.

•
