3 \page scalar_map_page Scalar Map presentation
5 \n <b>Scalar Map</b> is the basic type of visualization of calculation
6 data in \b Post-Pro module. This presentation consists of the
9 <li>creating a 3D presentation on the basis of a field:</li>
11 <li>on the whole mesh (default)</li>
12 <li>on group(s) of the mesh</li>
14 <li>coloring the cells of this presentation, according the scalar or
15 vector values applied to this cells;</li>
16 <li>creating a scalar bar representing the correspondence between the
17 scalar values of the field and the used colors.</li>
20 All other types of field presentations are based on the <b>Scalar Map</b>.
22 <em>To create a Scalar Map presentation:</em>
24 – Right-click on one of the time stamps of the field in the Object
25 browser and from the pop-up menu choose <b>Scalar Map</b>, or
27 – Click on one of the time stamps of the field in the Object browser
28 and select from the main menu <b>Visualization > Scalar Map</b>, or
29 click <em>"Scalar Map"</em> icon in the <b>Visualization

36 The following dialog box will appear:

40 \note This dialog box is equal for all types of field presentations
41 and it will be present as an additional tab in all dialog boxes
42 allowing to create the other types of presentations. It allows to set
43 the parameters of <b>Scalar range</b>, as well as the parameters of
44 the <b>Scalar Bar</b>. You can also set these parameters as
45 preferences which will be used in all SALOME sessions: in the main
46 menu select <b>File > Preferences > Post Pro > Scalar Bar</b>.
51 <li><b>Build presentation on groups:</b> You can choose the groups on
52 which <b>Scalar Map</b> can be built from the list to the left and add
53 them in the list to the right.</li>
54 <li><b>Scalar range parameters:</b></li>
56 <li><b>Scalar Mode</b> field: This field allows to choose the mode of
57 transformation of vector values into scalar values for creation of the
58 presentation. It can be module of the vector or one of three
59 components of the vector. (Note: This choose box is relevant only for
60 fields containing vector values, in other cases it will be
62 <li><b>Logarithmic scaling</b> check box: You can apply logarithmic
63 scaling to the color scale of the presentation.</li>
64 <li><b>Use field range:</b> if this check box is selected, all cells
65 of the field presentation will be colored according the values applied
67 <li><b>Use imposed range:</b> here you can define your own range of
68 scalar values of the field, on the basis of which this presentation
69 will be constructed. The cells of the field presentation with applied
70 scalar or vector values belonging to this imposed range will be
71 colored according to these values. The other cells of the field
72 presentation (with applied scalar or vector values out of this imposed
73 range) will be displayed using one color. For the cells with applied
74 scalar or vector values, which are less than the minimal value of the
75 imposed range, the color will be the same as for the cells with
76 applied minimal values. For the cells with applied scalar or vector
77 values, which are larger than the maximal value of the imposed range
78 the color will be the same as for the cells with applied minimal
81 <li><b>Colors and Labels:</b></li>
83 <li><b>Nb. of colors</b> field: In this field you can enter the number
84 of colors, which will be used for coloring of cells containing scalar
86 <li><b>Nb. of labels</b> field: In this field you can enter the number
87 of labels, indicating graduation of the scalar bar.</li>
89 <li><b>Orientation:</b> You can select \b Vertical or \b Horizontal
90 orientation of the scalar bar.</li>
91 <li><b>Origin:</b> you can enter X & Y coordinates of the origin of
93 <li><b>Dimensions:</b> you can enter \b Width and \b Height of the
95 <li><b>Text properties</b> button allows you to define from the
98 \image html textproperty.png
101 <li>\b Title of the field, on the basis of which this presentation is
103 <li>Font properties of the \b Title, displayed in the Viewer,</li>
104 <li>Font properties of the \b Labels, displayed in the Viewer.</li>
107 <li><b>Bar properties</b> button allows you to define from the
108 following dialog box:
110 \image html barproperty.png
113 <li>Relative \b width and \b height of \b Title (in percents),</li>
114 <li>Relative \b width and \b height of \b Labels (in percents),</li>
115 <li>Relative \b width and \b height of \b Bar (in percents),</li>
116 <li>Visibility of \b Units in \b Title,</li>
117 <li>Format of \b Labels.</li>
122 After you have finished with setting these parameters, click \b
123 OK. Your presentation with scalar bar will be immediately displayed in
