SymbolDisplayOptions object

The SymbolDisplayOptions object stores settings that specify how the assembly is displayed in a particular viewport. The SymbolDisplayOptions object has no constructor. When you create a new viewport, the settings are copied from the current viewport.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the SymbolDisplayOptions object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

otherSymbolSize

An Int specifying the size of the scalar attribute symbols. Possible values are 1 ≤ scalarSymbolSize ≤ 30. The default value is 12.

arrowSymbolSize

An Int specifying the size of the vector and tensor attribute symbols. Possible values are 1 ≤ vectorSymbolSize ≤ 30. The default value is 12.

faceSymbolDensity

An Int specifying the relative density of the attribute symbols drawn on geometric faces. Possible values are 1 ≤ faceSymbolDensity ≤ 10. The default value is 5.

edgeSymbolDensity

An Int specifying the relative density of the attribute symbols drawn on geometric edges. Possible values are 1 ≤ edgeSymbolDensity ≤ 10. The default value is 5.

meshSymbolFraction

A Float specifying the fraction of the attribute symbols drawn on orphan mesh regions. Possible values are 0.0 ≤ meshSymbolFraction ≤ 1.0. The default value is 1.0.

showFields

A Boolean specifying whether symbols should be scaled based on analytical field value. The default value is ON.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

None.
