stream_time

Synopsis

adds time-resolved node data to streamline output

Input Port

in_field

Mesh + Node_Data

ui_parent

user interface parent object

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

Mesh + Node_Data

out_obj

output renderable object

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.
