Function
"Shrinks" the connection elements of a specified field, creating new positions.
Syntax
output = Isolate(field, scale);
Inputs
| Name | Type | Default | Description | 
|---|---|---|---|
| field | field | none | field whose connections are to be isolated | 
| scale | scalar | 0.5 | shrinkage factor | 
Outputs
| Name | Type | Description | 
|---|---|---|
| output | field | field of isolated connections | 
Functional Details
This module moves all positions closer to the center of the connection elements to which they belong, by an amount specified by a scaling parameter (0 <= scale <= 1). Each original position yields as many new positions as there are connection elements that include it. This "shrinkage" makes it possible to view the connection elements of a field (triangles, quads, cubes, or tetrahedra) individually.
Using Isolate followed by ShowBoundary on volumetric data can provide a way to see values throughout a volume.
Components
Creates new positions and connections components. Items belonging to position-dependent components will be duplicated as necessary for the new positions.
