Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
complex_scattering_name | An Existing Scatter | Specifies the name of the new complex_scattering. |
color | An Existing Color | Specifies the COLOR of a graphic object. |
symbol_type | Plot_Symbols_No_None | This parameter identifies the shape of the symbol used to mark data points on an xy_plot. |
Extended Definition:
1. A COMPLEX_SCATTERING is a graphic representation of data displayed on an XY plot. This data comes from a results file or be computed using a numeric results operation. This command allows you to modify the following attributes of a COMPLEX_SCATTERING:
COMPLEX_SCATTERING_NAME, SYMBOL_TYPE, and COLOR. The EIGEN_SOLUTION_NAME may only be specified when the COMPLEX_SCATTERING is created. A COMPLEX_SCATTERING's name must be unique to all COMPLEX_SCATTERINGs on the same plot.
2. A graphic object is an object that may be drawn on the screen by Adams View, these include curves, parts, markers, arcs, outlines, boxes, circles, cylinders, frustums, spring damper graphics, force graphics, and plot curves and symbols. When the COLOR of a part is specified, all graphic objects fixed to that part are drawn with the COLOR of the part. Adams View supports the following COLORs: black, white, red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, and yellow.
NOTE: If you choose the COLOR of an entity to be drawn in the view background color (typically, white or black) it may not show up.
See help for hardcopy also.
3. Adams View currently supports the characters "*", "x", "o", "@", "+", and "none". However, you would enter the following parameter values respectively: "star", "x", "o", "at", "plus", and "none" to get those characters as symbols. The resulting shape is machine dependent but should look similar to the character.
The "none" choice produces a curve with no data point symbols displayed. For COMPLEX_SCATTERING plots the option for no symbol (i.e. the "none" option) is not available since this is a plot with only data points and no curve.
