Contour Options for 2D and 3D Diagrams

Contour Options This tab includes settings that apply to both 2D and 3D grid displays:
- Color Bands – Click here to enable colored contour bands and specify a Color Scheme used for 2D Contour Maps or 3D Surface Diagrams.
- Contour Lines – Click here to enable Contour Lines and specify settings for both 2D and 3D diagrams.
- Smoothing – Click here to specify Contour Smoothing passes, which will be applied to both the Color Bands and Contour Lines. Note that contour smoothing is applied AFTER grid creation and is a separate step from the Grid Smoothing tools that can be applied during grid creation.
- Labeled Cells – Click here to turn on Labeled Cells for 2D Grid Maps. The program will draw a grid of lines corresponding to the grid model nodes, and fill the cells with labels for the node values.
- Gradient Vectors – Click here to turn on Gradient Vectors for 2D Grid Maps, The program will display small arrows between grid nodes to represent uphill or downhill gradients.
