These properties control interval volume object visualizations. For each property, the type of control and the values that can be assigned are listed, along with the property identifier and allowed values for use by the iTools Procedural Interface. For a description of how a particular control is used, refer to Property Controls

Allowed Values

Color

Color: Color to be used for the interval volume lines in this visualization. Click to choose from the default color palette, or specify RGB values.

Default = [0,0,0] (black)

COLOR

3D integer array of the form:

[R, G, B]

Each color value may range from 0 to 255.

Linestyle

Line Style: Style of the interval volume lines. Select a line style from the list.

Default = No line

LINESTYLE

An integer value specifying a predefined line style, or a two-element vector specifying a stippling pattern.

The predefined line styles are:

0 (Solid line--the default)

1 (Dotted)

2 (Dashed)

3 (Dash dot)

4 (Dash dot dot dot)

5 (Long dash)

6 (No line drawn)

To define your own stippling pattern, specify a two-element vector [repeat, bitmask], where repeat indicates the number of times consecutive runs of 1's or 0's in the bitmask should be repeated. (That is, if three consecutive 0's appear in the bitmask and the value of repeat is 2, the line will have six consecutive bits turned off.) The value of repeat must be in the range 1 <= repeat <= 255.

The bitmask indicates which pixels are drawn and which are not along the length of the line. Bitmask is most conveniently specified as a 16-bit hexadecimal value.

For example, LINESTYLE = [2, 'F0F0'X] describes a dashed line (8 bits on, 8 bits off, 8 bits on, 8 bits off).

Thickness

Line Thickness: Thickness of the interval volume lines in points. Select a thickness from the list.

Default = 1

THICK

A floating-point value between 1.0 (the default) and 10.0.

Fill background

Boolean: Fill background? Choose True or False.

Default = True

FILL_BACKGROUND

0 (Do not fill background)

1 (Fill background)

Fill color

Color: Color to fill. Click to choose from the default color palette, or specify RGB values.

Default = [255,0,0] (red)

FILL_COLOR

3D integer array of the form:

[R, G, B]

Each color value may range from 0 to 255.

Shading

String List: Shading method. Select a method from the list. Choose between these values:

  • Flat: Flat shading
  • Gouraud: Gouraud shading

Default = Flat

SHADING

0 (Flat--default)

1 (Gouraud)

Transparency

Number: Level of transparency.

Default = 0

TRANSPARENCY

Integer

Z value

Number: Z value of plane on which to project the polygon. Edit the number to change the value.

Default = 0

ZVALUE

Floating point

Source Color

String List: Set source color. Choose from the following:

  • Isovalue selected (Volume color table)
  • User selected (Fill Color Property)

Default = Isovalue selected (Volume color table)

SOURCE_COLOR

(0) Isovalue selected (volume color table)

(1) User selected (fill color property)

Isovalue dialog

String: Edit isovalue.

Isosurface_ValueSelector.gif

None

None

Isovalue 0

Number: The lower isovalue for the interval volume, which should be in the range [Min(volume data), Max(volume data)].

_ISOVALUE0

Floating point value

Isovalue 1

Number: The upper isovalue for the interval volume, which should be in the range [Min(volume data), Max(volume data)].

_ISOVALUE1

Floating point value

Mesh quality

Number: The percent of the interval volume mesh to retain. Default is 100.

DECIMATE

Integer
