fe2view
FE2View converts finite element 3-D data into a 2-D image, providing a snapshot view of the 3-D data from a specified point of view.
-pov x,y,z -pov dir |
Specify the position of the eye where the 3-D data will be viewed. Alternatively, let fe2view locate a vantage point by specifying where the eye is with respect to the 3-D data: N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW. |
-angle theta,phi |
Specify where the eye is looking from its (-pov) position. Theta is the degrees/radians from the x-axis toward the z-axis (horizontal plane). Phi is the degrees/radians from the x-axis toward the y-axis (vertical plane). Either degrees or radians may be specified. Any number higher than 5 is interpreted as degrees; any number lower than 5 is interpreted as radians. The angle may be negative. |
-radius r |
The radius specifies how far the eye can see. If specified, output is limited to only the objects within distance r of the eye (-pov) position. |
-view theta,phi |
Specify the field of view. On the horizontal plane, the output will range from -theta/2 to theta/2. On the vertical plane, the output will range from -phi/2 to phi/2. Default: theta is 2/3*PI (120 degrees) and phi is PI/3 (60 degrees). |
-width xmax |
Specify how wide the output should be (in pixels). The height of the output is determine by maintaining the aspect ratio as determined by -view. |
-o filename |
Specify where the output should be written. Default: standard output. |
-wire |
Generate wireframe image of finite elements |
Each line of input is expected to be a quadrilateral finite element, using this format:
x1,y1,z1 x2,y2,z2 x3,y3,z3 x4,y4,z4 color
