plot3D plot modify
Allows you to modify an existing three dimensional plot.
The three dimensional plot can be created on plot window in a page over the postprocessor window. The ‘interface plot window open’ command can be used to create a new plot window, where a page can be created to display the three dimension plot.
The existing 3D plot can be edited by using the ‘modify’ command

Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
plot_name | An Existing Plot3d | Specifies an existing 3D plot name |
bounding box | Boolean | Specifies whether the bounding box will be displayed or not |
graph_volume | Integer | Specifies the graph volume |
grid_lines | Boolean | Specifies displaying the grid lines |
grid_color | An Existing Color | Specifies the color of the grid |
grid_style | Grid_style | Specifies the grid line style |
grid _thickness | Real | Specifies the grid line thickness |
titile | String | Specifies the title of the plot |
subtitle | String | Specifies the subtitle of the plot |
Extended Definition:
1. The plot name specifies the name of a existing 3D plot.
2. The ‘bounding box’ option set to ‘yes’ will show complete line diagram bounding the volume of the box, else, only the background surface will be displayed to show the 3D plot.
3. The graph volume can be specified by specifying the length, breadth and the depth of the box encompassing the bounding volume of the 3D plot. The gird lines display can be switched to ‘yes’ and ‘no’ depending on requirement. The grid properties like color, line thickness and style, e.g. solid or dashed line style, can be edited by using respective parameters. For graph volume, enter the x, y, and z aspect ratio of the plot. For example, a volume of 1,1,1 makes the plot look like a cube, while a volume of 2,1,1 makes the plot twice as long in the x dimension as it is in the y and z.
4. The ‘title‘ and ‘subtitle’ is applied by using the respective commands to the 3D plot.
