ShowAndEditDipoles

This module visualizes point clouds with vector data. It allows you to move, rescale, and rotate vectors.

Ports

This module has 1 input port and 2 output ports. The input port must be a point cloud mesh with vectors on all of the points. The geometry output port visualizes vectors as widgets, which can be edited through the ViewScene module. The field output sends the edited data downstream.

Editing

Each vector is visualized as 4 separate widgets. To interact with widgets, hold the SHIFT key and click and drag the widget. Moving different widgets will cause different transformations on that vector:

Part of Vector	Transformation
Sphere	Movement
Cylinder	Movement
Cone	Rotation
Disk	Resize

Scaling

The Visualization Scaling Factor multiplies the scaling of all the dipoles, however it does not affect the field output.

The 3 scaling options rescale the field output.

Scaling Option	Transformation
Original	Uses the scaling values given from the input port
Normalize Vector Data	Normalizes all vector
Normalize by Largest Vector	The largest vector is normalized and the rest are rescaled in proportion of the largest

Note: Changing scaling options reset to the original scales from the input field. However, you can resize the widget after changing scaling options.

Other Options

Option Name	Description
Show Last As Vector	Shows the last vector in the field as a point
Show Lines	Displays lines connecting between the bases of every vector in the field
Move Dipole Positions Together	When one dipole is moved, every other dipole moves the same direction and distance
