This module is a very modified version of Wes Bethel's 3D axis
module available at the IAC. This module produces a 2D line plot
from a 2D uniform field. The plot is a non-transforamable AVS
geometry. While not as extensive as the AVS supplied plotting
module (AVS Graph) it allows for a 2D plot to be included in a
geometry viewer scene. The optional 'time step' input draws
a vertical marker from the x axis to the plot data. In an animation
this can show the evolution of a specific piece of data (say the
overall population of a species) while the geometry shown is the
distribution of individuals (hey, this isn't what I do, but I
can't think of a more generic use). Another use might be to
trace out a stress-strain curve while animating the bending of a
beam.
The data format required by the module is a 2D uniform field with
the x values in the first dimension and the y values in the second.
Two modules to produce this type of field (with associated data sets
and networks) are included.
INPUT
A uniform scalar field (field 2D real uniform)
Optional input
An integer for the data pair (x,y) to draw a vertical mark on
the plot
Parameters
x origin float these are the plot
y origin float origin and extent in
x extent float window coordinates. The
y extent float plot is non-transformable
x axis ticks integer The number of ticks on
y axis ticks integer each axis
tick size float The tick size
show xy plane toggle Show axes as a grid
label font size float The label font size
x label precision float Decimal precision of
y label precision float the axis labels
label font integer The integer font number
x label density integer Display every "n" labels
y label density integer
origin label string 'x' or 'y' axis to have
the origin labeled
show labels toggle show the axis labels
axis limits string display the axis limits
plot R value float RGB values for the plot
plot G value float color
plot B value float
Outputs
plot geometry (not transformable with the geometry viewer)
