LOOP
This command generates a frame progression along any fixed coordinate.
Widget:
Command:- LOOP=coordinate, start value, increment, end value
Arguments:- coordinate: the name of the coordinate that will be varied in the loop
- start value: the beginning value of the loop coordinate
- increment: the value added to the loop coordinate between frames
- end value: the final value of the loop coordinate
Examples:- LOOP=TIME, 1000.00, 500.00, 5000.00
This creates a time loop consisting of nine frames beginning at TIME=1000.0 and ending at TIME=5000.00.
- LOOP=Z, 1, 1, 10
In this example, a loop along the Z axis is generated. It consists of 10 frames, beginning at Z=1 and ending at Z=10.
Notes: - Prior to building a loop, a file (FILE command) and a field (FIELD command) must be specified. It is also necessary to produce a sample plot (PLOT command) of one of the frames before generating a loop.
- Loops can only be created along coordinate axes that you have fixed.
