points for the different solutions. If there is only one solution, the values in the<br />

specified points are displayed in the x-axis range [0 1].<br />

Line plots on domains (1D, 2D, 3D) Plot of an expression on a set of connected 1D<br />

domains (edges in 3D, boundaries in 2D and subdomains in 1D). If Linxdata is<br />

not specified, this is done by folding out the arc length of the 1D domain to the<br />

x-axis of the resulting plot, and letting the value of the expression be set on the<br />

x-axis. If dom contains more than one domain, the different arc lengths are just<br />

added to each other on the x-axis. In this case, the domains have to be connected<br />

and so that not more than two selected domains meet in the same vertex.<br />

If Linxdata is specified, this is the quantity on the x-axis in the resulting plot. Using<br />

Linxdata, you can project cross-sections to, e.g., the x-axis by setting Linxdata to<br />

x.<br />

The direction of the path is so that the start point is the point along the path with<br />

lowest geometry vertex number. If the selected domains form a closed curve, so that<br />

this point is also the end point, the direction is in the direction of the domain with<br />

lowest number.<br />

If there are several solutions (that is, Solnum or T is a vector), the curves for the<br />

different solutions can be either plotted in the same x-y-plot or can be extruded<br />

along the third axis to generate a surface. This is controlled by specifying either the<br />

property Lindata or Surfdata.<br />

Line plots on cross-sections (2D, 3D) In 2D and 3D, plot of an expression along a<br />

straight line, defined between the two points in dom, in the geometry. The points in<br />

dom are regarded as the end points of the cross-section line and are the x-axis limits<br />

in the resulting plot, hence if the line between the two specified points do not<br />

intersect the geometry, the resulting plot will be empty.<br />

Surface plots on domains (2D, 3D) Plot of an expression on a boundary in 3D or on<br />

a set of subdomains in 2D. In 3D, if Surfxdata and Surfydata are not specified,<br />

the boundary is plotted in an x-y-plane where x and y correspond to the<br />

(s,t)-parameters of the boundary. If Surfxdata and Surfydata are specified, these<br />

represent the quantities on the x- and y-axis in the resulting plot. Using Surfxdata<br />

and Surfydata, you can project a cross-section to, for example, the x-y-plane of the<br />

geometry by setting Surfxdata to x and Surfydata to y. If there are several<br />

solutions, all plots for the different solutions are displayed along the third axis, as a<br />

slice plot. In 3D, dom must be a single integer.<br />
