Plot
These properties control plot 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Vertex Colors Color Table |
User Defined: By selecting Edit Color → Table Edit ![]()
|
None |
None |
| Plot transparency |
Number: Percent transparency of plot. Move slider to change value.
Default = |
TRANSPARENCY |
Integer from 0 to 100. |
| Color |
Color: Color for the plot line. Click to choose from the default color palette, or specify RGB values. Default = |
COLOR |
3D integer array of the form: [R, G, B] Each color value may range from 0 to 255. |
| Line style |
Line Style: Style for the plot line. Select a style from the list. Default = |
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). |

FILL_LEVEL |
Floating point value |
| Fill color |
Color: Color for the plot fill. Fill transparency must be less than 100%. Click to choose from the default color palette, or specify RGB values. Default = [ |
FILL_COLOR |
3D integer array of the form: [R, G, B] Each color value may range from 0 to 255. |
| Fill transparency |
Number: Transparency of the plot fill from 0% to 100%. Move the slider to change the value. Default = |
FILL_TRANSPARENCY |
Integer from 0 to 100. |
| ZVALUE |
Number: Z value of plane on which to project the plot. Edit the number to change the value. |
Z value |
Floating point value |
| Symbol |
Symbol: Symbol to appear at regular intervals on the plot line. Choose a symbol from the list. Default = No symbol |
SYM_INDEX |
0 (No symbol) 1 (Plus sign) 2 (Asterisk) 3 (Period) 4 (Diamond) 5 (Triangle) 6 (Square) 7 (X) 8 (Right arrowhead) 9 (Left arrowhead) |
| Symbol size |
Number: Factor from 0 - 1 determining the size of the selected symbol. Move slider to change the size. Default = |
SYM_SIZE |
Floating point between 0 and 1. |
| Use default color |
Boolean: Activate Symbol color property. Choose True or False. Default = False |
USE_DEFAULT_COLOR |
0 (Do not activate symbol color property) 1 (Activate symbol color property) |
| Symbol color |
Color: Color for the selected symbol. Click to choose from the default color palette, or specify RGB values. Default = |
SYM_COLOR |
3D integer array of the form: [R, G, B] Each color value may range from 0 to 255. |
| Symbol thickness |
Number: Line thickness from 1 - 9.9 for the selected symbol. Move slider to change the thickness. Default = |
SYM_THICK |
A floating-point value between 1.0 (the default) and 9.9. |
