Re: [opendx-users] Isosurface with Colormap coloring?

[Chris Pelkie]

Try Isolate on your original grid. Your problem is probably seeing into the volume, so Isolate shrinks cells toward their centers, allowing you to see in the cracks. No reason why you can't have multiple states/colors; simply create a 'data' component that has multiple different values in it, make it connection dependent on the cells (I assume you are using cubes). Similar to the multiple slice windows, you can show the whole Isolated grid from different POVs in different windows. Then Sequence the whole thing: should be a cool animation. You could also think about making State N slightly more transparent than State N+1 and showing both at the same time, if your agents 'move' in the grid. This would give a ghostly trail viz. You might have to subset to only one data value first like =3, to have enough 'holes' for agents to visibly move to. But if they don't move, this idea won't work. However, since you have knowledge of what they were and what they are, difference states N and N+1 and color by that. Immediately, you see who has/hasn't or will/won't change.
