Gradient Post Processing
Visualize gradients using vectors.
Analyze Vector
Analyze the vector in a gradient plot from the Gradient tab. Representing gradients as a vector field is an effective way to see gradients in space.
- From the Post-Processing step, click the Gradient tab.
- Use the Inputs and Output tabs of the Channel selector to select three dimensions of data to plot.
-
Analyze the direction and intensity of the vector created using the selected
data sets.
