/GROPT
/GROPT, Lab
, KEY
Sets various line graph display options.
Lab
Apply display style as selected from the following labels:
AXDV
—
Axis division (tick) marks (defaults to
KEY
= ON).AXNM
—
Axis scale numbers (defaults to
KEY
= ON, which puts numbers at the back plane of the graph). IfKEY
= FRONT, numbers are on the front plane of the graph.AXNSC
—
Axis number size scale factor. Input the scale value for
KEY
(defaults to 1.0).ASCAL
—
Automatic scaling of additional Y-axes for multi-curve (/GRTYP, 2 or 3) graphs (defaults to
KEY
= ON). IfKEY
= OFF, use base Y-axis scaling (see the /YRANGE command).LOGX
—
Log X scale (defaults to
KEY
= OFF (linear)).LOGY
—
Log Y scale (applies only to the base Y axis) (defaults to
KEY
= OFF (linear)).FILL
—
Color fill areas under curves (defaults to
KEY
= OFF).CGRID
—
Superimpose background grid (/GRID) over areas under filled curves (defaults to
KEY
= OFF).DIG1
—
Number of significant digits before decimal point for axis values. Input the value for
KEY
(defaults to 4).DIG2
—
Number of significant digits after decimal point for axis values. Input the value for
KEY
(defaults to 3).VIEW
—
View key for graph displays (defaults to
KEY
= OFF, in which case the view is (0,0,1) for 2D graph displays or (1,2,3) for 3D graph displays). IfKEY
= ON, the view settings for graph displays are the same as the view settings for the model.REVX
—
Plots the values on the X-axis in reverse order.
REVY
—
Plots the values on the Y-axis in reverse order.
DIVX
—
Determines the number of divisions (grid markers) that will be plotted on the X axis.
DIVY
—
Determines the number of divisions (grid markers) that will be plotted on the Y axis.
LTYP
—
Specifies whether program-generated (
KEY
= 1) or system-derived (KEY
= 0) fonts are used for the axis labels.CURL
—
Determines the position of the curve labels. If (
KEY
= 1), the curve label will be plotted in the legend column, and the label will be displayed in the same color as the curve. If (KEY
= 0) the curve labels will be plotted near the curve. (default).XAXO
—
When you use this label, the subsequent
KEY
value will determine an offset amount from the default (along the bottom) location for the X axis. IfKEY
= 1.0, a full offset occurs (the X axis is moved to the top of the graph). IfKEY
= 0.5, the axis is offset to the midpoint of the graph, and ifKEY
= 0 the axis remains in the original position, along the bottom of the graph. For any offset, a grey copy of the original axis (containing the axis numbering) remains at the original location.YAXO
—
When you use this label, the subsequent
KEY
value will determine an offset amount from the default (along the left side of the graph) location for the Y axis. IfKEY
= 1.0, a full offset occurs (the Y axis is moved to the right side of the graph). IfKEY
= 0.5, the axis is offset to the midpoint of the graph, and ifKEY
= 0 the axis remains in the original position, along the left side of the graph. For any offset, a gray copy of the original axis (containing the axis numbering) remains at the original location.KEY
Option values:
OFF (0)
—
Do not apply selected style.
ON (1)
—
Apply selected style.
nnnn
—
If
Lab
is DIG1 or DIG2, input the number of digits.nn
—
If
Lab
is AXNSC, input the scale factor.FRONT
—
If
Lab
is AXNM, FRONT may also be input.Ndiv
—
If
Lab
is DIVX or DIVY, determines the number of divisions (1-99) that will be applied to the axis.Kfont
—
If
Lab
is LTYP,Kfont
is ON (1) or OFF(0). ON uses program-generated fonts for the axis labels, while OFF uses SYSTEM (Windows, X-system, etc.) fonts. Default:Kfont
= ON (Mechanical APDL fonts).
Notes
Sets various line graph display options. Issue /GROPT,STAT to display the current settings.
Issue /GROPT,DEFA to reset default specifications.
Unless you issue /GROPT,VIEW,ON, the program indicates that graph-view manipulation is inactive.
See /AXLAB, /GRTYP, /GRID, and /GTHK for other graph-control options.
Automatic scaling using the /XRANGE and /YRANGE commands often yields inappropriate range values for logarithmic scales (/GROPT, LOGX or /GROPT, LOGY).
This command is valid in any processor.
