Transformation
Use the Transformation subnode () to transform a 2D or 3D plot. This subnode transforms the visualization of a 2D or 3D plot, not its coordinates when exported. You can add a transformation to most 2D and 3D plots. In the Model Builder, add one of those plot types; then right-click the plot node and select Transformation.
Transformation
From the Transformation list, choose Structured (the default) for a structured transformation in terms of scaling, rotating, and moving, or choose General to define a general transformation in terms of base vectors and a translation.
For the structured transformation, specify the following settings:
•
Select the Scale checkbox to apply a scaling. Then specify the scaling of the plot in the x, y, and (3D only) z fields.
•
Select the Rotate checkbox to apply a rotation.
-
In 3D, choose an axis from the Axis type list: X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis (the default), Cartesian, or Spherical. For Cartesian, specify the axis in the x, y, and z field below. For Spherical, specify the θ and φ angles.
-
In 2D and 3D, then specify the rotation angle (in degrees) in the Angle field. Under Center of rotation, specify the center for the rotation in the x, y, and (3D only) z fields (default unit: m)
•
Select the Move checkbox to move the plot. Then specify the translation of the plot in the x, y, and (3D only) z fields (default unit: m).
For the general transformation, specify the following settings:
•
Under Base vectors, specify base vectors with their x, y, and (3D only) z components for the First, Second, and (3D only) Third base vector.
•
Under Translation, specify the translation of the plot, with the applied base vectors, in the x, y, and (3D only) z fields (default unit: m).
For both transformation types, the Apply to dataset edges checkbox is selected by default. Clear it to make the dataset edges remain at the untransformed original position.
