TableArrow
Create a table arrow plot for 2D and 3D plot groups.
Syntax
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"TableArrow");
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);
model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).run();
Description
model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"TableArrow") creates a table arrow plot feature named <ftag> belonging to the plot group <pgtag>.
Use a table arrow plot to visualize data from a table or evaluation group in 2D or 3D.
The following properties are available:
Table 7-163: Valid Properties for Table Arrow Plots.
name
Value
Default
Description
arrowbase
head | tail | center
tail
Whether the head, tail, or center of the arrow is located at the arrow position.
arrowlength
normalized | proportional | logarithmic
proportional
The arrow scaling: Proportional uses the actual arrow length, normalized a unit length, and logarithmic a length proportional to the logarithm of the arrow length.
arrowtype
arrow | arrowhead | cone | double
arrow
The type of arrow to draw.
color
custom | black | blue | cyan | gray | green | magenta | red | white | yellow
red
The color to use.
customcolor
RGB-triplet
{1,0,0} or last used color
The uniform color to use. Active when color is set to custom.
evaluationgroup
none | evaluation group feature name
First available evaluation group
The evaluation group feature this plot refers to, if source is evaluationgroup.
imagplot
on | off
off
When on, the imaginary part of the data in the table is plotted.
inheritarrowscale
boolean
true
Determines if arrow scale is inherited.
inheritcolor
boolean
true
Determines if the color is inherited.
inheritplot
none | plot name
none
The plot that arrow scale and color are inherited from.
plotcolumninput
auto | manual
auto
Whether the table data is automatically interpreted or manually specified by column.
preproc
none | linear
none
Use a linear preprocessing of the coordinate data values, which you specify using the scaling and shift properties.
preprocdir
none | linear
none
Use a linear preprocessing of the direction data values, which you specify using the scaling and shift properties.
scale
positive double
1
If scaleactive is true: The length scale factor.
scaleactive
boolean
false
Whether to use manual scaling.
scaling
double
1
Real scaling value for data preprocessing, if preproc is linear.
scalingdir
double
1
Real scaling value for data preprocessing, if preprocdir is linear.
shift
double
0
Real shift value for data preprocessing, if preproc is linear.
shiftdir
double
0
Real shift value for data preprocessing, if preprocdir is linear.
source
table | evaluationgroup
table
Use table data from a table or an evaluation group.
table
none | table feature name
First available table
The table feature this plot refers to, if source is table.
title
String
The auto-title
The title to use when titletype is manual.
titletype
auto | label | manual | none
auto
auto, if the title should be computed automatically. 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.
xdata
positive integer
1
The column to take x-coordinate data from, when plotcolumninput is manual.
xdirdata
positive integer
1
The column to take x-direction data from, when plotcolumninput is manual.
ydata
positive integer
1
The column to take y-coordinate data from, when plotcolumninput is manual.
ydirdata
positive integer
1
The column to take y-direction data from, when plotcolumninput is manual.
zdata
positive integer
1
The column to take z-coordinate data from, when plotcolumninput is manual.
