Annotation
These modules add
various kinds of information to a visualization and can convert 2D and 3D
scalar and vector fields to viewable objects.
- AutoAxes -- Creates an axis box for a
specified data set, using a specified camera. The camera is required
so that the AutoAxes module can determine how to position the
axes box and labels.
- AutoGlyph --
Produces glyphs (a representational figure, such as an arrow) for
every data value in an input Field. The size and type
of glyph are based on the data it receives.
- Caption -- Creates a caption for an
image. The caption position specified in pixel- or viewport-relative coordinates. Captions
always remain aligned to the screen.
- ColorBar --
Creates a color bar to be displayed on
the screen. It accepts a color map as input.
- Format -- Creates a string from numeric
values. For example, you can create the string "Isosurface value =
23.4", where 23.4 is the output of an Interactor.
- Glyph -- Produces glyphs for every data
value in an input Field. This module allows more precise control
of glyph size than AutoGlyph does.
- Parse -- Separates a string into its component parts (e.g.,
the string "data = 3.7" into "data," "=," and the floating
point value "3.7").
- Plot -- Creates a 2-dimensional plot from a line. You can specify: customized
labels for the axes; axes limits; y-axes on the left and
right sides of the plot; and logarithmic or linear axes.
- Ribbon -- Produces a ribbon of
specified width from an input line. If a "normals" component is
present on the line (e.g., if the curl option was used to create a
streamline or streakline), the
twist of the ribbon will correspond to the direction of the
"normals."
- Text -- Produces text
that appears in the "space" occupied by the image. That is,
unlike Caption, this module specifies the text position and size in
the same coordinates as the data.
- Tube -- Produces a tube of specified diameter and number
of sides from an input line. If a "normals" component is
present on the line (e.g., if the curl
option was used to create a streamline or streakline), the
twist of the tube will correspond to the direction of the
"normals."
