You may display the particles in one of two ways (or both):
· Particle track
Displays Lines which shows tracks of the particle movements
· Particle instantaneous
Displays Markers which shows the position of the individual particles.
Optionally Annotations for selected particles can be shown.
You can define the width, style and color of the lines.
The track length may be displayed as the total track, the track from start to current time step or the recent track only (current with Tail).
You can choose between predefined vector symbols or your own meta file. When using a predefined vector symbol you can define the color and style of the marker. When using a metafile you can define the orientation of the marker in different ways.
You may choose to have a fixed size for all the markers or have the size vary according to the value of a selected variable. In the latter case the marker scale factor can be used to resize the marker.
You have the option to show the particles for one particular time step, all time steps or only the recent time steps (current with Tail).
The tail length defines the number of recent time steps to display.
You can show annotations for selected particles.
You may choose to show all variables, or a selected few.
Filters
You can define and apply varying filters to control the display of particles and annotations.
