Variable Import Dialog Box

Image Processing Toolkit User Guide > Surface Tool > Variable Import Dialog Box

The Variable Import dialog box lets you import one or more variables from the $MAIN$ program level of PV-WAVE into the VDA Tool.

This dialog box consists of two list boxes:

The upper list box contains the names of variables on the $MAIN$ program level. Select the variables that you want to import.

The lower list box lists the variables that are currently associated with the VDA Tool (on the VDA Tool’s selected variables list).

Import As—This menu contains the following features:

Surface Data—Import the selected variable as surface data.

Shading Data—Import the selected variable as shading data.

X Coordinates—Import a vector or 2D array specifying the x-coordinates of the surface.

note

If the x variable is a vector, each element of x specifies the x-coordinate for a column of z. For example, x(0) specifies the x-coordinate for z(0, *). If the variable is a 2D array, each element of x specifies the x-coordinate of the corresponding point in z (xij specifies the x-coordinate for zij).

Y Coordinates—Import a vector or 2D array specifying the y-coordinates of the surface.

note

If the y variable is a vector, each element of y specifies the y-coordinate for a row of z. For example, y(0) specifies the y-coordinate for z (*, 0). If the variable is a 2D array, each element of y specifies the y-coordinate of the corresponding point in z (yij specifies the y-coordinate for zij).

OK—Import the variable(s) and exit the dialog box.

Apply—Import the variable(s), but do not exit the dialog box.

Cancel—Dismiss the dialog box without taking any action.

Help—Display online Help on the dialog box.
