imat_vtkplot/imat_vtkplot (+FEA)


Purpose

Advanced FEM/result plotting class

Syntax

imat_vtkplot

Description

The IMAT_VTKPLOT class is a class that consists of a number of methods and properties that provide convenient control of an imat_fem, imat_shp, or result plot. An instance of the class is created by using the VTKPLOT method of either of the three objects.

The IMAT_VTKPLOT object has several useful public properties. These properties store the important parts of the plot for use / reference.

Property Description
hp Handle to the uipanel that contains the plot.
hf Handle to the figure that the plot is on.
s

Structure containing all of the information defining the plot. Most is self explanatory, but for more information see the detailed help.

v

Handle to the VTK object.

fem Structure containing a copy of the FEM that is plotted.
contour imat_shp or result containing the contours for the plot.
displacement imat_shp containing the displacements for the plot.
