Plot PropertiesProperties
Display type
Sets the quantity that is displayed.
Velocity,
Beta,
Gamma,
Normed Momentum,
Energy,
Charge
Note: If Charge is selected, the macro charge of the particles will be shown: [q] = C.
Show absolute values
For some display types it is convenient to show only the absolute values (e.g. charged particles with different signs (electron/positron)).
Particle Source
Allows to show only particles which were emitted from a particular source.
Time scale
The time scale slider control offers the possibility to plot the markers at one defined time step.
Close
Closes the dialog box.
Color Ramp...
Choose a different coloring model for the trajectory data.
Specials...
Opens the PIC Monitor Plot Specials dialog box for further settings.
Export Bitmap
Exports a bitmap of the current particle position plot to the directory:
"<example dir> \ Result \ PIC Monitors \ Position \ <monitorname> \ imageXXXX.bmp".
The bitmaps can be used to generate movies for demonstration purposes.
Help
Shows this help text.
Animate
Animates the particle position plot to visualize the dynamic behaviour of the particles. During the animation parameters of the plot can not be changed.
The animation can be stopped by pressing the Stop button.
Stop
In case an animation is running this button is used to stop the movie.
Export Movie
By activating this button one can start an animation where each frame is exported to the bitmap directory.
Note: During the animation the application must not be minimized, also dialogs should not be moved in front of the display window.
Example:
Beside the color ramp, additional information is given in the lower right corner of the particle position plot. The chosen display type, the selected plot sample, the current time and the number of particles is given here.
