BAHN
For plotting path lines (see chapter "Plotting path lines")
Input ((separated by spaces or tabs):
1st line: colour number, line width, line type
2nd line: marker type, z, ize (only marker type = 1)
Marker type = 0 means: no markers
Marker type = 1 means: markers after z time units, z = number of time units
Marker type = 2 means: markers after z metres, z = distance in metres
The selected time unit for marker type = 1 is stored via the integer number ize:
ize = 0: seconds
ize = 1: minutes
ize = 2: hours
ize = 3: days
ize = 4: months
ize = 5: years
All path lines saved in the background are always plotted.
ETXT
For plotting element texts (data type ETXT)
Input (separated by spaces or tabs):
1st line: colour number, line twidth, line type
2nd line: marker type, (x, y)-offset in cm, text height in cm, flag for box (if flag = 1)
For horizontal sections of 3D models, all element texts are plotted by default, regardless of the layer. If a negative colour number is specified, only the element texts of the current layer are plotted. The marker height is the same as the text height. The box height is 1.5*text height.
The PLX marker types are authorised as marker types.
If marker type = -1 is entered, no marker is plotted.
No element texts can be plotted for vertical sections (3D models).
FLAE
For plotting isoline surfaces of node and element data
Input (separated by spaces or tabs):
1st line: Identification number of the data type, conversion flag and time step
2nd line: Number of the colour palette, line width and line type
3rd line: Selection of the classification method and further details depending on the classification method:
1 (= equidistant division) and number of intervals
2 (= from, to, distance) and min, max values, 4th line: distance
3 (= individual values as interval limits) and number of values, 4th line: Values
4 (= isolines through nodes) and number of nodes, 4th line: Node numbers. If the number of nodes is set to negative, a pair of coordinates and their layer number (3D) can be entered from the 4th line onwards.
5 (= individual values and colours) and number of values, 4th line: Values, 5th line: corresponding colour numbers
Interval line type 4 can only be entered via the batch file.
If more value intervals are defined than there are colour gradations available, the colours are repeated.
Only area plots of data defined for all nodes or all elements can be created.
FROB
For plotting the free surface for vertical sections (3D model) or for vertical models and for controlling the "hiding" of isolines, surface plots and velocities over the free surface.
Inputs (separated by spaces or tabs):
1st line: colour number, line width, line type and time step
The free surface is plotted with a colour number > 0. If the colour number = 0, all subsequent isolines, surface plots or velocities above the free surface are hidden. Hiding is switched off again with a colour number < 0.
Corresponding input options are available in the user interface.
GESC
To display the velocities
Input (separated by spaces or tabs):
1st line: Colour number, line width, line type, time step and vertical flag (for vertical section through 3D model or vertical model)
For vertical sections through a 3D model or when displaying the velocities in a vertical model, the vertical flag can be used to set whether (in the case of an exaggerated display) the vertical components of the velocity vectors are also exaggerated (vertical flag = 0) or not (vertical flag = 1).
It should also be noted that 3 colours are used for vertical sections of a 3D model, i.e. colour number for velocities in the section plane, colour number+1 for velocities pointing out of the plane and colour number+2 for velocities pointing into the plane.
GLEI
For plotting markers at GLEI nodes)
Input (separated by spaces or tabs):
1st line: colour number
2nd line: marker type, marker height
3rd line: Flag, either with (1) or without (0) node numbers, height for node numbers
ISOL
For plotting isolines of node and element data.
Inputs (separated by spaces or tabs):
1st line: Identification number of the data type, conversion flag and time step
2nd line: Colour number, line width and line type
3rd line: Selection of the classification method and further details depending on the classification method:
1 (= equidistant division) and number of intervals
2 (= from, to, distance) and min, max values, 4th line: distance
3 (= individual values as interval limits) and number of values, 4th line: Values
4 (= isolines through nodes) and number of nodes, 4th line: Node numbers. If the number of nodes is set to negative, a pair of coordinates and their layer number (3D) can be entered from the 4th line onwards.
5 (= individual values and colours) and number of values, 4th line: Values, 5th line: corresponding colour numbers (number of colours must be equal to number of values)
6 (= input of individual values, colour numbers, line widths and line types) and number of values, from the 4th line: Value, colour number, line width and line type
Classification methods 4 and 6 only work via the batch file!
Only isolines of data that are defined for all nodes or all elements can be displayed!
KONT
For plotting control line sets
Input (separated by spaces or tabs):
1st line: Colour number, line width, line type, conversion flag and time step
A plot of control line rates is not possible for a vertical section!
KREI
For plotting node or element data as circles at nodes or in elements.
Inputs (separated by spaces or tabs:
1st line: Identification number of the data type, conversion flag and time step
2nd line: Colour number, line width, scaling flag and scaling value
Only nodes or element data can be plotted as circles. It makes sense to only display data that is not defined for all nodes or elements as a circle plot. The specified colour number is used for the positive values, the negative values are displayed with colour number+1.
If a negative colour number is entered, only values not equal to 0 are displayed.
If the scaling flag 1 is selected, a scaling value > 0 is expected, the reference of which corresponds to the circle size 1.0 cm.
If no scaling flag or 0 is specified, the maximum circle size is automatically determined from the size of the plot. The maximum circle size can also be set explicitly via the initialisation parameter RADI of the plogeo.ini file.
PUNK
For plotting points (or markers) on nodes or in elements.
Inputs (separated by spaces or tabs)::
1st line: Identification number, 0, time step, 0
2nd line: Marker type, marker height
3rd line: Dummy, number of intervals
From 4th line: Interval limits (maximum 5 per line)
From the 5th line: associated colour numbers (maximum 5 per line)
Currently, the values specified here with zeros are not interpreted any further. Only nodes or element data can be plotted as points.
KTXT
For plotting node texts (data type KTXT )
Inputs (separated by spaces or tabs):
1st line: colour number, line width, line type
2nd line: Marker type, (x, y) offset in cm, text height in cm, flag for box (if flag = 1)
For horizontal sections of 3D models, all node texts are plotted by default, regardless of the layer. If a negative colour number is specified, only the node texts of the current layer are plotted. The marker height is equal to the text height. The box height is 1.5*text height.
The PLX marker types are authorised as marker types.
If marker type = - 1 is entered, no marker is plotted.
No node texts can be plotted for vertical sections of 3D models.
SCHR
For plotting a hatched area (see p. 480) or the area plot of element data.
Inputs (separated by spaces or tabs:
1st line: Identification number of the data type, conversion flag and time step
2nd line: Division type and definition of hatching intervals:
0 (= exact input) and number of intervals, in the subsequent lines: A line is read for each hatching interval with min., max., line spacing, angle, colour, line width and line type
1 (= simplified input: equidistant division) and number of intervals, in the following line: Number of the colour palette, line width, line type, spacing of the lines
2 (= simplified input: from, to, spacing), 3rd line: min., max. spacing, in the 4th line: Number of the colour palette, line width, line type, spacing of the line
If more value intervals are defined than there are colour gradations available, the colours are repeated.
If no hatching distance or a distance of 0 is set, the hatching distance is automatically set to 0.2 cm.
Hatching is only possible for element data!
STRO
For plotting streamlines.
Inputs (separated by spaces or tabs):
1st line: colour number, line width, line type
2nd line: Marker type, z, ize (only for marker type = 1) Marker type = 0 means: no markers)

The selected time unit for marker type = 1 is stored via the integer number ize:
ize = 0: seconds
ize = 1: minutes
ize = 2: hours
ize = 3: days
