Drawing Commands that Do Not Plot Data

These commands are always available since they do not display any data.

DR (alias DRAW)

Draws the undeformed geometry in wire-frame mode, the current in-core state is irrelevant.

No time is shown since none is associated with the undeformed geometry.

"Wire-frame" displays do not obscure hidden lines.

LI (alias LINE)

Draws the current in-core state in wire-frame mode.

A time is now shown (in this case 4.6ms) since this represents data at that time.

Wire-frame mode still exposes lines which should be hidden.

HI (alias HIDDEN_LINE)

Draws the current in-core state in hidden surface mode.

This plot shows the deformed shape at 4.6ms as before, but now hidden lines have been removed .

SH (alias SHADED)

Draws the current in-core state in lit and shaded "greyscale" mode, implicitly with hidden surfaces removed. The command-line equivalent command is [Greyscale] GO.

Shading has been applied, assuming a light source at the observer, and hidden-surface mode is implicit: any hidden lines will be removed.
