Vel, LC. Crit Fill Options
Vel, LC, Crit fill options
Controlling the appearance of the underlying elements in these "vector data on structure" type plots.
From D3PLOT 9.4 onwards the default appearance of the underlying elements in these plotting modes is shaded and lit, using the default colour of grey. A different colour may be chosen using the popup menu.
This is a change from pre-D3PLOT 9.4 behaviour in which such elements were drawn in the current "hidden" mode, and it is possible to revert to the previous behaviour by selecting the " " option instead.
These setting can also be defined via the oa_pref file preferences:
| d3plot*vector_fill_mode: | SHADED or HIDDEN | |
| d3plot*vector_fill_colour: | A standard colour (e.g. WHITE , etc) or RGB mixture 0xRRGGBB |
From D3PLOT 9.4 onwards element-derived data vectors will only be drawn on elements which have their display mode set to "current". Those with their mode set to "shaded", "hidden" or "wireframe" will not receive data vectors.
This does not apply to plots of nodally-derived data, e.g. velocity vectors, which will be shown on all unblanked nodes. To limit the display of such data use blanking to prevent the display of nodes at which you don't want to see data.
This too is a change from D3PLOT 9.3 behaviour, and to revert to the previous appearance select " " instead.
This setting can also be defined via the oa_pref file preference:
| d3plot*mixed_vector_data: | SHOWN or NOT_SHOWN |
