Filled boundary plot attributes menu item
This item pops up a window that allows you to set plot attributes for filled boundary plots. If you select a filled boundary plot from the
Active plots
list in the MeshTV
Main
window, then attributes you change and apply will be applied to the selected plot. Unselected filled boundary plots will not be changed. If you select this item without selecting a filled boundary plot first, you will have to select a filled boundary plot before you can apply the changes. Note that if you make any changes and then select a filled boundary plot, you will lose your changes since the window will update with the attributes of the selected plot.
You can modify the default settings for attributes of future plots by opening this window, making your changes, and then pressing the
Make default
button. This affects only future plots, not existing ones, and stays in effect only for the remainder of the current MeshTV session unless you also select
Save settings
from the
File
menu.
Filled Boundary plot attributes window
The
Filled boundary plot attributes
window looks like
Filled boundary attributes
, if you are using MeshTV's defaults. If you aren't, the values might be different.
This window allows you to set the attributes assigned to existing or future filled boundary plots. The attributes include things like zone type, volume fraction, and whether to plot the legend.
If you don't see a description for an item in this window, check in the Shared items section near the front of the chapter.
Zone type radio buttons
These radio buttons determine if all zones will be included in the filled boundary plot, or if only clean zones will be included. "Clean" zones contain only one material as opposed to two or more. Zones with two or more materials are called "mixed" zones.
