I am creating grids with node-based data about ionization states. So, for
different elements from the Periodic Table of Elements, I may have several
states. For example:
Hydrogen has two 2 states, Helium has 3, Iron has 15.
The data are stored as vtkDoubleArrays with tuples of numbers. The Number of
Components is equal to the number of ionization states.
My problem is in the GUI.
Any array with number of components less or equal to 3 can be colored by
Magnitude, or by component, where the components are labelled X, Y, Z. However,
in this chemistry problem, the components are not spatial dimensions, they have
nothing to do with XYZ.
Any array with number of components greater than 3, can be colored by component
labelled from 0 to N-1, which the correct way we think of when calling elements
and their ionization states.
Is there a way to enforce this labelling from 0 to N-1, instead of the
spatial-centric notation _X, _Y,_Z?
The problem shows up elsewhere. Using the Calculator, I get a long list of
labels, some of them indexed by _[XYZ], some of them indexed by
_{012345678910]. We would much prefer an homogeneous labelling.
A much improved GUI for the Contour module would be the ability to directly
choose a component from a multi-component data array, without having to resort
to the Calculator. is this in the plan?
Thanks for the help
