| 522 | | When a NetCDF input file is entered, the names and value of the global attributes are listed in the left column '''[attributes]''', the list of variables in the central column '''[variables]''', and the list of dimension names and values in the right column '''[dimensions]'''. By selecting one of the variables in the central column, the corresponding variable attributes and dimensions are displayed in the left and right columns respectively. The whole content of the NetCDF file can be made available on the Matlab prompt in the form of a Matlab structure 'Data_get_field': use the menu bar button '''[Export]''', or click the right button mouse on the interface. |
| 523 | | |
| 524 | | Plots can be made in a new figure (default), to the interface '''uvmat.fig''', or added to an existing one, as selected in '''[list_fig]'''. Different processing or plotting functions can be activated by a selection in '''[ACTION]'''. The default action is a plot of selected field, as follows. |
| 525 | | |
| 526 | | -'''Ordinary graphs:''' to plot a simple graph, select the check box '''[1D_plot]'''. Then select the variable to plot in the column '''[ordinate] ''' and the corresponding abscissa in the column '''[abscissa]''', then press '''[RUN]'''. If the variable is indexed with more than one dimension, each component is plotted versus the first index (like with the plot Matlab function {plot.m}). If no variable is selected in '''[abscissa]''' ( blank selected at first line), the variable is plotted versus its (first) index. |
| 527 | | |
| 528 | | -'''Scalar maps:''' select this check box to plot scalar fields as images. The scalar field is selected in the first column [scalar], with coordinates respectively selected in '''[coord_x_scalar] ''' and '''[coord_y_scalar]'''. If no variable is selected in '''[coord_x_scalar] ''' or '''[coord_y_scalar] ''' ( blank selected at first line), the index is used as coordinate. |
| 529 | | |
| 530 | | -'''Vector plots:''' select this check box to plot vector fields. The x and y vector components iare selected in the first (...) and second columns, while the coordiantes are selected in '''[coord_x_vector] ''' and '''[coord_y_vector]'''. If no variable is selected in '''[coord_x_scalar] ''' or '''[coord_y_scalar] ''' ( blank selected at first line), the index is used as coordinate. A scalar, set in ..., can be represented as vector color. |
| 531 | | |
| 532 | | -'''Automatic opening''': When an input file is opened a default plotting option is proposed. |
| 533 | | |
| 534 | | In the case of a 3D input field, the fig is set to uvmat. A middle plane of cut is automatically selected. This can be moved then with the slider on the interface set_object (see section 5). The default cuts are made at constant z coordiante, but any of the three initial coordiantes can be used as z coordinate, using the menu coord_z. |
| | 522 | When a NetCDF input file is entered, the names and value of the global attributes are listed in the left column '''[attributes]''', the list of variables in the central column '''[variables]''', and the list of dimension names and values in the right column '''[dimensions]'''. By selecting one of the variables in the central column, the corresponding variable attributes and dimensions are displayed in the left and right columns respectively. Note that the whole content of the Netcdf file can be obtained by the function ''nc2struct.m''. Input fields can be selected according to three options, chosen by the menu '''[FieldOption]'''. |
| | 523 | |
| | 524 | -'''1D plot:''' to plot a simple graph ordinate versus abscissa. Select by the menu '''[ordinate]''' the variable(s) to plot as ordinate (use the key '''Ctrl''' for multiple selection). Then select the corresponding abscissa in the column '''[abscissa]'''. If the variable is indexed with more than one dimension, each component is plotted versus the first index (like with the plot Matlab function ''plot.m''). If the option '''[matrix index]'''('''[CheckDimensionX]''') is selected, the ordinate variable is plotted versus its index. |
| | 525 | |
| | 526 | -'''scalar:''' to plot scalar fields as images. The variable representing the scalar is selected in the first column '''[scalar]''', with coordinates respectively selected in '''[Coord_x] ''' and '''[Coord_y]'''. Alternatively, matrix index can be used as coordinate if the options '''[matrix index]'''('''[CheckDimensionX]''' and '''[CheckDimensionY]''') are selected. |
| | 527 | |
| | 528 | -'''vectors:''' to plot vector fields. The x and y vector components are selected in the first (...) and second columns, while the coordiantes are selected in '''[coord_x_vector] ''' and '''[coord_y_vector]'''. If no variable is selected in '''[coord_x_scalar] ''' or '''[coord_y_scalar] ''' ( blank selected at first line), the index is used as coordinate. A scalar, set in ..., can be represented as vector color. |
| | 529 | |
| | 530 | The time can be also set in get_field.... |
