Inputs / Description

dDefaults

Set Chart Image in 3D View

Smooth

Use smoothing.  Applies a smoothing filter to the bitmap image displayed in the 3D view, but has no effect on the analysis data.

Unchecked

Semi-transparent

Image is semi-transparent as displayed in the 3D view.

Unchecked

 Set Colors by Max/Min Values

Colors set by max/min values. This has the effect of saturating the pixels outside of the range specified by the max/min values.

Unchecked

Remove Chart Image from 3D View

Remove

If the Show in Visualization View dialog is opened for a plot already displayed in the 3D View and this option is checked then the chart will be removed from the 3D View.

Application Notes


Display Example

The image below shows irradiance calculations from both arms of an interferometer displayed in FRED's 3D View using the Show in Visualization View feature.  The irradiance plots were calculated using two separate Analysis Surfaces.  The irradiance calculation windows can be retained in the view by using the Lock Diagram option.

 

 

 

Display Limitations

The number of pixels that can be displayed as a texture map in the 3D view is limited by the graphics capabilities of each computer.  In the event that the texture map display fails, usually only a gray surface will be displayed.  Texture maps up to 1024 x 1024 pixels will typically be properly displayed.  Hardware accelerated modes should allow for proper display of texture maps with larger numbers of pixels.
