Legend

Type
Fixed scale displays a global maximum and minimum value in the legend for the time steps HyperGraph 3D has already processed.
Dynamic Scale changes the legend with respect to the maximum and minimum values of each time step or simulation.
Position
Select the position of the legend within the animation window.

Values and colors

Numeric format
Fixed displays the legend values in a fixed format.
Scientific displays the legend values in scientific format.
Numeric precision
You can increment the current value from 1 to 12 decimal points.
Number of levels
Displays more or less contour bands along with their respective ranges. The minimum number of bands you can display in a legend is 2; the maximum is 32.
Reverse levels
Reverses the legend values assigned to the contour bands.
Interpolate
Interpolates the colors in between the two colors that you select. After clicking Interpolate, use the legend within this dialog to select a color to interpolate from and a color to interpolate to. When you select Interpolate, HyperGraph 3D displays contour colors for each frame based on the linearly interpolated values between the zero value in the undeformed shape and the solver reported values.
