Geometry Page

The FunctionLattice and TestLattice modules Geometry page displays the extents and resolution of the lattice. To open the Geometry page, click on the FunctionLattice or TestLattice module in the Network Manager.  In the Property Manager, click on the Geometry tab.

 

This is an example of the information displayed

in the Property Manager on the Geometry

tab for a Math module.

 

Automatically Calculate Limits

Check the box next to Calculate From input to have Voxler automatically calculate the extents of the output lattice based on the combined extents of the input lattices.

 

X Limits

The X Limits item displays the limits in the X direction for the function lattice. Enter the X min and X max coordinates. These ranges are the limits of the lattice that is created. The values are in map coordinates. To change the values, highlight the existing value and type the desired minimum or maximum value.

 

Y Limits

The Y Limits item displays the limits in the Y direction for the function lattice. Enter the Y min and Y max coordinates. These ranges are the limits of the lattice that is created. The values are in map coordinates. To change the values, highlight the existing value and type the desired minimum or maximum value.

 

Z Limits

The Z Limits item displays the limits in the Z direction for the function lattice. Enter the Z min and Z max coordinates. These ranges are the limits of the lattice that is created. The values are in map coordinates. To change the values, highlight the existing value and type the desired minimum or maximum value.

 

Resolution

Click the next to Resolution to set the number of lattice nodes in each of the X, Y, and Z directions. The default number of nodes is 50 in each direction. To change the Nx, Ny, or Nz value, highlight the existing value and type the desired value or click the button to increase or decrease the number of nodes. An increase in the number of lattice nodes provides more resolution, but it also increases the amount of time needed to create the lattice and to draw output graphics. It also increases the amount of memory needed to display graphics on-screen and to save the graphics to a .VOXB network file.
