tracing node
Trace nodes during animation.
Syntax
tracing node add <id>
tracing node color <color value>
tracingnode curve <name>=<value>
tracing node remove <node ID>
Arguments
- add
- Select the nodes to trace.
- <node_id> <node_id list>
- Define by component ID or list of IDs.
- select
- Select from the modeling window.
- color
- Select a node color.
- <color>
- Display the color picker.
- <RGB/label/value>
- Enter an RGB value or selecting a color from the list.
- curve
- Add node trace lines.
- node= <id_range_syntax/all>
- Define nodes in an ID range syntax with the real node ID’s. For example: node=120,456-458,612
- plot=< new/target>
- Select a destination for the curve.
- new
- Create a new window for the plot.
- target
- Select a specific page/window combination. For example, plot="p:2 w:1".
- livelink=<true/false>
- True establishes a link between the node selection on the Trace panel and the curve in the HyperGraph window. (Live) is added to the name of the node item and the curve name to indicate that a live link is established. When a live node item is deleted, a message is displayed prompting you to keep or delete the curve.
- singlecurve=<true/false>
- True enables the X-axis option, the curve by component, and color by component options.
- curvebycomponent= <true/false>
- Set curve by component. Only valid for singlecurve=true and livelink=false
- colorbycomponent= <true/false>
- Color curve by component. Only valid for singlecurve=true, livelink=false, and colorbycomponent=true
- xaxis=<xaxis_datatype>
- Select the X-axis for the curve (if available). This option is available only if the singlecurve=true.
- yaxis=<yaxis_datatype>
- Select the Y-axis for the curve.
- remove
- Remove the nodes from being traced.
- <node id>
- Define by node ID.
- select
- Select from the modeling window.
Example
tracing node add "Node 22101"
tracing node remove 22472
tracing curve node=4252-4255 singlecurve=true xaxis=X yaxis=Y curvebycomponent=true
