• AUSB

For hiding representations (isolines, areas, etc.) in certain elements in a horizontal plot.

Input:

1^st line: Name of the file with the "Hide" elements

The structure and format of the hide file is described in the section "File with elements to hide" on page 50. Only element numbers of the uppermost layer are expected in the "Hide" file (even when cutting through deeper layers (3D)). The data for this file can be generated in SPRING by assigning the EEEE attribute to the elements, for example, and copying the input block from the model file opened in an editor.

Fading out applies to all subsequent plot commands where fading out is possible and is only cancelled by a new section (batch commands HORI, VERT, 2DMO)!

 

• CLIP

For clipping a section of horizontal plots (i.e. plots in the 2D model or in horizontal sections of the 3D model)

Inputs (separated by spaces or tabs):

1^st line: xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax to define the bottom left and top right corners of the clip section in world coordinates.

All plot parts that protrude beyond the cut-out are cut off at the clip cut-out. The coordinate frame is orientated to the clip coordinates. There are corresponding input options in the user interface for taking clipping into account

 

• SKAL

For changing the scaling globally and in the x and y directions for horizontal and vertical plots.

Inputs (separated by spaces or tabs):

1^st line: sca, scx, scy

(If 0 is entered, the corresponding scaling factor is set to 1.)

If the scale of the model file is to be changed for the plot (data type MASS of the model file), this command must precede the first batch command that results in the plot of a data type. Otherwise it will be ignored!

If no explicit section is specified for 3D models (with the batch commands HORI or VERT), SPRING automatically initialises with HORI = 0 before the first data plot. If the batch command 2DMO is missing (for 2D models), initialisation (2DMO) is carried out automatically before the first data plot.

The batch commands HORI, VERT and 2DMO set the scaling variables to 1.0. The batch command SKAL must therefore be placed after HORI, VERT or 2DMO in order to take effect. So if the scaling is to be changed, HORI (= 0) must be used for 3D models, even if no section is to be made, and the batch command 2DMO must precede the batch command SKAL for 2D models!

The user interface provides corresponding input options for taking scaling into account.
