| Display Option |
Description
|
| Cell edges |
The Cell edges item is used to display the edges of cells. The cells are drawn using the specified color.
|
| Cell faces |
This option fills the cells with the material color.
|
| Cell centers |
This option displays a point at the center of every cell.
|
| Points |
Points are the corners of cells, or simply 3D points not attached to cells.
|
| Inactive points |
Show points that correspond with an inactive dataset value.
|
| UGrid shell |
The UGrid shell item is used to display an edge for each of the edges on the exterior of the set of all cells (visible or invisible) which corresponds to a discontinuity in the UGrid exterior. This display option provides a helpful spatial context when displaying iso-surfaces or cross sections.
|
| Feature angle |
The UGrid shell feature angle is used only when the UGrid Shell option is selected. This angle represents a threshold angle at which an edge of the shell will be displayed. If for example, an angle of 45 degrees is defined, any edge of the UGrid which divides two cell faces that are at an angle greater than 45 degrees to each other will not be displayed.
|
| Point numbers |
The Point numbers item is used to display the ID associated with each point next to the point.
|
| Cell numbers |
The cell numbers item is used to display the ID associated with each cell at the centroid of the cell.
|
| Scalar values |
The Scalar Values item is used to display the scalar values of the active dataset for each node next to the node.
|
| Face contours |
Most of the objects supported by GMS can be contoured by turning on the Contour Options in the Display Options dialog. When an object is contoured, the values associated with the active dataset for the object are used to generate the contours.
|
| Point contours |
The same Contour Options but applied to points.
|
| Vectors |
Vector arrows are displayed using the active vector dataset.
|
| Isosurfaces |
Isosurfaces are the 3D equivalent of a contour line. An isosurface is a surface of constant value extracted from a 3D dataset.
