Description
stream_time takes the polyline output of the streamline module and adds a node data component that represents the length of time that has passed at each point. This node data can be used to visualize the rate of flow along the streamlines. A variety of effects similar to those achieved by the advector module can be created.
Input
in_field
Input field with either line or polyline cell sets.
ui_parent
A port to connect to a user interface object that contains the macro's widgets. By default, it is connected to the default user interface object in the application in which the macro is instanced. (This default connection is not drawn.)
Parameters
scale factor
UIfield. Additional scale factor.
add component
UItoggle. Whether the stream time is the only output node data component or an additional node data component.
Output Port
out_fld
The output field is a reference to the input field. If the add component parameter is set then it contains an additional node data component representing the stream time. If the add component parameter is not set then it contains a single node data component representing the stream time.
out_obj
This is a renderable version of the output field.
