`FarField3DPlot`

A far field 3D result.

Example

app = pf.GetApplication()
app:NewProject()
app:OpenFile(FEKO_HOME..[[/shared/Resources/Automation/startup.fek]])
farFieldData = app.Models[1].Configurations[1].FarFields["FarFields"]

    -- Create a 3D Plot of the far field

farFieldPlot = app.Views[1].Plots:Add(farFieldData)

    -- Configure the plot axes

farFieldPlot.PlotType = "Phi cut"
farFieldPlot:SetFixedAxisValue("Frequency", 7.0, "GHz")
farFieldPlot:SetFixedAxisValue("Phi", 60, "deg")

Inheritance

The FarField3DPlot object is derived from the Result3DPlot object.

Method List

Delete (): Delete the plot.
Duplicate (): Duplicate the plot. (Returns a Result3DPlot object.)
GetAxisUnit (axis string): Returns the SI unit for the specified axis. (Returns a string object.)
GetFixedAxisAvailableValues (axis string): Returns the list of available values for the specified fixed axis. (Returns a List of string object.)
GetFixedAxisValue (axis string): Returns the current value for the specified fixed axis. (Returns a string object.)

SetFixedAxisValue (axis string, strvalue string): Set the fixed axis to the specified value.
SetProperties (properties table): Modifies the state of the object using the provided table of properties. This method is used to modify multiple properties of the object in a single step.
Store (): Stores a copy of the plot. (Returns a Result3DPlot object.)
