InterferencePattern

Plot the interference pattern resulting from the intersection of rays with a cut plane.

Syntax

model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"InterferencePattern");

model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).selection(...);

model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property, <value>);

model.result(<pgtag>).feature(<ftag>).run();

Description

model.result(<pgtag>).create(<ftag>,"InterferencePattern") creates an interference pattern plot feature named <ftag> belonging to the plot group <pgtag>. The interference pattern plot is used to visualize the interference of multiple rays as they intersect a cut plane. Interference pattern plots can be added to 2D plot groups.

The following properties are available:

colortable	color table name	Rainbow	The color table to use when colormethod is set to colortable. See Color Tables for a list of color tables.
colortablerev	on | off	off	Whether to reverse to color table when colormethod is set to colortable.
colortablesym	on | off	off	Whether to symmetrize the color range around 0 when colormethod is set to colortable.
customcolor	RGB-triplet	{1,0,0} or last used color.	The uniform color to use. Active when color is set to custom.
data	none | parent | data set name	parent	The data set this feature refers to
inheritcolor	Boolean	true	If inheritplot is not none: Determines if the color is inherited.
inheritplot	none | plot name	none	The plot that color, color range, and deformation scale is inherited from.
inheritrange	Boolean	true	If inheritplot is not none: Determines if the color and data ranges are inherited.
interp	double array	Time corresponding to last selected solnum for transient levels.	The time to use, for transient levels. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data is transient.
looplevel	array of non-negative integers and strings	Last solution for transient or parametric solution for each level. Otherwise first solution for each level.	The index of the solution to use, per level, or interp, but only for transient solutions. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data has multiple solutions.
originspec	manual | index | intensity	manual	Determines how the origin of the interference plot is defined.
originx	double	0	If originspec is manual, determines the x-coordinate of the origin.
originy	double	0	If originspec is manual, determines the y-coordinate of the origin.
originz	double	0	If originspec is manual, determines the z-coordinate of the origin.
outersolnum	non-negative integer	1	The index of the outer solutions to use. Applicable only for parametric sweep models.
rangecoloractive	on | off	off	Whether to use the manual color range specified in rangecolormin and rangecolormax. The color range specifies the minimum and maxim value in the plotted colors. Default is the minimum and maximum data values.
rangecolormax	double	Plot-dependent	The maximum color range value. Active when rangecoloractive is on.
rangecolormin	double	Plot-dependent	The minimum color range value. Active when rangecoloractive is on.
rangedatactive	on | off	off	Whether to use the manual data range specified in rangedatamin and rangedatamax. Values outside the data range is not plotted.
rangedatamax	double	Plot-dependent	The maximum data value. Active when rangedataactive is on.
rangedatamin	double	Plot-dependent	The minimum data value. Active when rangedataactive is on.
rangexactive	on | off	off	Whether to use a manual range of x-coordinates for the grid points.
rangexmax	double	Plot-dependent	The maximum x-coordinate in the local coordinate system of the interference pattern plot. Active when rangexactive is on.
rangexmin	double	Plot-dependent	The minimum x-coordinate in the local coordinate system of the interference pattern plot. Active when rangexactive is on.
rangeyactive	on | off	off	Whether to use a manual range of y-coordinates for the grid points.
rangeymax	double	Plot-dependent	The maximum y-coordinate in the local coordinate system of the interference pattern plot. Active when rangeyactive is on.
rangeymin	double	Plot-dependent	The minimum y-coordinate in the local coordinate system of the interference pattern plot. Active when rangeyactive is on.
rayindex	int	1	The index of the ray used to define the location of the origin of the interference pattern plot. The origin is located at the intersection of the specified ray with the cut plane. Active when originspec is index.
solnum	non-negative integer	Last solution for transient or parametric solution. Otherwise first solution.	The index of the solution to use. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data has multiple solutions.
solrepresentation	solnum | solutioninfo	solutioninfo	Indicates which method of selecting solutions is active.
t	double	Time corresponding to last selected solnum.	The time to use, for transient problems. Available when data is not parent and the underlying data is transient.
timeinterp	on | off	off	on if t is used to determine time steps, off if solnum is used.
title	String	The auto-title.	The title to use when titletype is manual.
titletype	auto | custom | manual | none	auto	auto if the title contribution should be computed automatically, possibly using the group’s customization. custom if the title contribution should be computed automatically, but customized. manual if the manual title contribution should be used (the title property). none if no title contribution should be used.
xyresolution	int	200	The number of grid points in each direction to use when rendering the interference pattern. Cannot be greater than 1000.
