Oriented Streamline uses the streamlines, DVdownsize_scat and glyph module to show the direction of a streamline.
| Name | Type | Description | |
| in_field | Mesh+Data | input field | |
| in_probe | Mesh | probe input for streamlines module | |
| in_glyph | Mesh | example glyph to be drawn to show the direction of the streamline | |
| Name | Type | Description | |
| out_strline | Mesh+Data | output field of the streamline | |
| out_glyph | Mesh+Data | output field of the glyphs that show the direction of the sreamline | |
| out_obj | DataObject | directly renderable output object of the orientated streamline | |
The Orientated Streamline macro shows a streamline and its direction in a 3D field. This macro is combined from a set of predefined macros. It does not have its own user interface but employs the user interfaces of the macros it is combined from.
The Orientated Streamline macro uses the streamlines module to draw the streamlines, and a glyph module to indicate the direction of the streamline. To reeduce the number of glyphs the DVdownsize_scat is used as input for the glyph_coordinates.
in_field
Reference to the input field.
in_probe
Probe input for streamlines module.
in_glyph
Example glyph that shall be used to indicate the direction of the streamline.
out_strline
This mesh output contains the new 3D model of the streamline which was generated from the input field.
out_glyph
This mesh output contains the 3D model of the glyphs that indicate the direction of the streamline which was generated from the input field.
out_obj
The directly renderable object that contains the output field of the Oriented Streamline macro. This contains a DataObject object that can be rendered by the standard data viewers. The DataObject contains both the streamline and the glyph objects that show the direction of the streamline.
The User Macro Oriented Streamline combines several high-level AVS/Express mactros. The Oriented Streamline macro itself does not have its own user interface. Its parameters can be modified using the User interfaces of the macros it is assembled from. These macros are DVdownsize_scat, glyph, interp_data and streamlines.
An example application Oriented_StreamlineEG is provided. This reads a field file and shows the Oriented Streamline.
