*SetSpline3DAttributes()

Sets the offset and scale for three dimensional (3D) spline data.

Syntax

*SetSpline3DAttributes(varname, z_scale, z_offset, 
              x_scale, x_offset, nz, y_scale 1,y_scale 2 ...,
              y_scale nz, y_offset 1, y_offset 2, ..., y_offset nz )

Arguments

varname
The variable name of the spline entity.
Data type: variable
z_scale
The scale value applied for Z values.
Data type: real
z_offset
The offset value applied for the Z values.
Data type: real
x_scale
The scale value applied for the X values.
Data type: real
x_offset
The offset value applied for the X values.
Data type: real
nz
The number of Z values.
Data type: real
y_scale 1 , y_scale 2 .. y_scale nz
The scale values applied individually for each Y column vector. The number of scale values are equal to the number of Z values.
Data type: real
y_offset 1 , y_offset 2 ..y_offset nz
The offset values applied individually for each Y column vector. The number of scale values are equal to the number of Z values.
Data type: real

Example

In example below, a scale of 100 is applied to the X column data. A scale of 1.2 is applied to the second Y column out of the 3, while applying an offset of 0.5 and 0.4 on first and third Y columns respectively.

Comments

A scale or offset can be applied to the Spline3D of type FILE and VALUE.

The View data as well as the Show Spline 3D visualization will always indicate values after applying scale and offsets.
