pick_data

Synopsis

Data mappers that create Node_Data objects given data array(s) for use in the Graphics Display Kit

Input Port

in_data

any primitive

node data

Output Port

out

Node_Data

Description

The works like the node_scalar macro for use in the Graphics Display kit. It creates Node_Data objects that can merge with a Mesh object to create a field. A Node_Data object represents the values of some dataset at the node points of a field, while the Mesh represents the locations of that field's nodes in space.

These macros simplify the process of generating field data by reducing the amount of data you must supply to create a field. Usually the output of one of these macros is combined, using combine_mesh_data, with the output of one of the mesh mapper macros to create a field.

Input

none.

Parameters

none.

Output Port

out

Node_Data. The node data object containing the given data array.
