-cutplot: shows the generated mesh in a selected meshplane

This section enables the regeneration of the grid and shows the discretised material boundaries as generated from the geometric primitives specified so far in a selected gridplane only.

The same effect can be achieved with the section -volumeplot with the aid of the parameters bb?low, bb?high.

• draw= [both|approximated|input]:
  Flags, whether the materialboundaries should be plotted both as diagonal mesh fillings and as smooth mesh fillings (both), or only as diagonal mesh fillings (approximated), or only as smooth mesh-fillings (input).
• grid= [yes|no]:
  Flags, whether the positions of the grid planes shall be plotted together with the material approximation.
• normal= [x|y|z], cutat= :
  cutat: The coordinate value of the gridplane in direction normal where the material filling shall be plotted.
• plotopts= ANY STRING CONTAINING OPTIONS FOR gd1.3dplot:
  gd1 does not display the data itself, but writes a datafile for gd1.3dplot and starts gd1.3dplot to display these data.
  Useful options are:
  • -colorps : Produce colour PostScript and quit
  • -greyps : Produce grey-scale PostScript and quit
  • -geometry X11-GEOMETRY : Initial geometry for the X11 window of gd1.3dplot.
  • -o FILENAME : If a PostScript is requested, the file written is FILENAME. The default filename is dataplot.ps .
• eyeposition= (XEYE, YEYE, ZEYE):
  This specifies the initial eyeposition for the 3D plot that will be produced. As soon as the plot appears, you can interactively change the eyeposition with the buttons of gd1.3dplot, but for a complex geometry, this may take some time.

• doit:
  If you say "doit", the relevant settings in "-mesh" are checked, the mesh is re-generated, and the material boundaries in the selected plane are plotted.
