Modifying Markers on Point Plots

For scalar point plots, a marker is used to represent a field quantity at a selected point (for vector point plots, arrows are used).

Modify the shape and size of markers in the plot attributes window:

  1. Click HFSS> Fields> Modify Plot Attributes.

    The Select Plot Folder window appears.

  2. Select the plot folder you want to modify, and then click OK.

    All plots in the selected folder will be modified.

    A dialog box with attribute settings for the selected folder appears.

  3. Click the Marker/Arrow tab in the plot attributes window.
  4. Under Marker options, select one of the marker types to represent the field quantity at the point:
    • Sphere
    • Box
    • Tetrahedron
    • Octahedron
  5. Use the Size slider to increase or decrease the size of the marker.
  6. Select Map size to scale the size of the marker to the magnitude of the quantity being plotted.
  7. Select Real time mode if you want the changes to take effect immediately in the view window.

    If this option is cleared, click Apply when you want to see the changes.

  8. Click Close.
