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
const	String array of property/value pairs	Empty	Parameters to use in the expressions
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.
descr	String	Model-dependent.	The description of the expression in expr. Is used in the automatic title.
descriptionintitle	on | off	on	Whether the title contribution should contain the description when titletype is custom.
differential	on | off	on	Whether the expression should be linearized at the linearization point. Applicable only if evalmethod is harmonic
evalmethod	linpoint | harmonic | lintotal | lintotalavg | lintotalrms | lintotalpeak	harmonic	Applicable only for solutions with a stored linearization point. Controls if the linearization point, the perturbation, or a combination should be used when evaluating the expression.
expr	String	Model-dependent.	The expression to plot
expressionintitle	on | off	off	Whether the title contribution should contain the expression when titletype is custom
inheritcolor	Boolean	true	If inheritplot is not none: Determines if the color is inherited.
inheritdeformscale	Boolean	true	If inheritplot is not none: Determines if the deformation scale 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.
multiplanexmethod	number | coord	number	Indicates whether the x-coordinates of the x-planes should be specified by number of planes to distribute evenly across the data or by coordinates.
multiplaneymethod	number | coord	number	Indicates whether the y-coordinates of the y-planes should be specified by number of planes to distribute evenly across the data or by coordinates.
multiplanezmethod	number | coord	number	Indicates whether the z-coordinates of the z-planes should be specified by number of planes to distribute evenly across the data or by coordinates.
outersolnum	non-negative integer	1	The index of the outer solutions to use. Applicable only for parametric sweep models.
prefixintitle	String	Empty	Added prefix to contribution to title.
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.
recover	off | pprint | ppr	off	The derivative recovery method (off, within domains, or everywhere).
refine	non-negative integer	1	The element refinement to use, if resolution is set to manual. Bear in mind that this is the refinement used for the base data set, so the number of elements in the model can increase radically if the plot uses, for example, a revolve data set.
resolution	norefine | coarse | normal | fine | finer | extrafine | custom	normal	Controls the plot’s resolution. A finer setting results in a higher resolution by modifying the internally computed default refinement. Use custom to enter your own refinement in the refine property.
smooth	none | material | internal | everywhere | expression	internal	Smoothing settings. With material, smoothing is done inside material domains With internal, smoothing is done inside geometry domains. With expression, the smoothing is based on the expression in smoothexpr.
smoothexpr	String	dom	The expression to use for smoothing when smooth is set to expression.
suffixintitle	String	Empty	Added suffix to contribution to title
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.
threshold	manual | none	none	Use a smoothing threshold.
thresholdvalue	double	0.1	Threshold value (0-1), if threshold is set to manual.
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.
typeintitle	on | off	on	Whether the title contribution should contain the type when titletype is custom
unit	String	Model-dependent	The unit to use for the expression in expr. If the old unit is not valid when the expression changes, the unit property is reset to default.
unitintitle	on | off	on	Whether the title contribution should contain the unit when titletype is custom
xnumber	String	1	Number of planes in the x-direction. Active when multiplanexmethod is set to number.
xcoord	String array	Empty	Absolute coordinates in the x-direction, active when multiplanexmethod is set to coord
ynumber	String	1	Number of planes in the y-direction. Active when multiplaneymethod is set to number
ycoord	String array	Empty	Absolute coordinates in the z-direction, active when multiplaneymethod is set to coord
znumber	String	1	Number of planes in the z-direction. Active when multiplanezmethod is set to number
