Syntax

hm_plotentity hm_plotentity entity_type mark_id dataname=<value> plottype=<value>

HyperMesh Tcl GUI Command

Plots entity as either a vector or a contour plot.

entity_type: The type of entity to plot. Currently only supported for constraints.
mark_id: The ID of the mark containing the entities to plot. Valid values are 1 and 2.
dataname=<value>: The data name which is to be extracted and plotted.
plottype=<value>: 0 - Clear plot; 1 – Vector plot (not valid for constraints); 2 – Interactive contour plot; 3 – Static scalar plot

To create a contour plot of data name weights for all constraints:

*createmark constraints 1 all
        hm_plotentity constraints 1 dataname=weights plottype=2

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
