Example a_backup/graph_axes: Draw graph axes

Shows how to use glyphs and normalised_window_coordinates to create graph axes.

The comfile run by this example is as follows:

#Example graph_axes: Display data in a 2D graph style
#

#================ Read in nodal data ==============
#
# This file has the potential at 100ms at many nodes.
#

gfx read nodes $example/potential.0100.exnode.gz time 0;

#================ Plot data ==============

# By creating a coorindate field which sets one axis as the 
# first coordinate and the other axis as the second coordinate
# you can plot any fields you choose.

# Here we will plot the cmiss_number versus the potential.
# The potential needs to be scaled so that it's range is similar
# to the other axis.

gfx define field plotA composite cmiss_number potential;
gfx define field plot scale field plotA scale_factors 1 2e5;

# Set the coordinate field to use this plot field and draw the nodes.

gfx modify g_element potential_points node_points as pointset coordinate plot glyph sphere general size "1000*1000*1000" centre 0,0,0 select_on material default data potential spectrum default selected_material default_selected;

gfx modify spectrum default auto;


# You are not restricted to drawing nodes in this way, isosurfaces,
# surfaces and lines can all be draw using this coordinate system.

#================ Create window ==============
#
# Make a window to view the data.  It is set in 2D mode to disable rotation, but panning and zooming
# still work.
#

gfx create window 1 double_buffer;

# Using a distorting_relative_viewport means that the graph will change aspect ratio when the window is resized

#================ Create axes ==============
#
# Draw a node which is fixed relative to the window and label the axes with the unscaled coordinate fields
# using an window coordinate transformation.  As these are done with respect to a particular window
# that must be made first.
#

gfx read node $example/axes.exnode;

# The coordinate_system normalised_window_coordinates is a special coordinate system which lies in the
# screen window space rather than the 3D model space.

#that as the number of pixels reduce so does the number of labels
