cgo_grid creates flowing mesh objects

About cgo_grid

cgo_grid will generate a flowing mesh object using the points provided or the current view. By default is will generate a flowing membrane. The shape is affected substantially by the arguments!

Usage

cgo_grid has many arguments, but not all need to be set necessarily (see arguments or examples).

cgo_grid [ pos1 [, pos2 [, pos3 [, length_x [, length_z [, npoints_x [, npoints_z
[, nwaves_x [, nwaves_z [, offset_x [, offset_z [, gain_x [, gain_z
[, thickness [, color [, nstates [, startframe [, endframe
[, mode [, view [, name [, quiet ]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]


Arguments

    pos1 = single atom selection (='pk1') or list of 3 floats {default: [0,0,0]}

    pos2 = single atom selection (='pk2') or list of 3 floats {default: [1,0,0]}

    pos3 = single atom selection (='pk3') or list of 3 floats {default: [0,0,1]}

    --> the plane is defined by pos1 (origin) and vectors to pos2 and pos3, respectively

    length_x = <float>: length of membrane {default: 30}
    length_z = <float>: length of membrane {default: ''} # same as length_x

    npoints_x = <int>: number of points(lines) along x-direction
                {default: ''} #will be set to give a ~1 unit grid
    npoints_z = <int>: number of points(lines) along z-direction
                {default: ''} #will be set to give a ~1 unit grid
                {minimum: 1 # automatic}

    nwaves_x =   <float>: number of complete sin waves along object x-axis
                 {default: 2}
    nwaves_z =  <float>: number of complete sin waves along object z-axis
                {default: ''} # same as nwaves_x
                define separately to adjust number of waves in each direction

    offset_x = <float> phase delay (in degrees) of sin wave in x-axis
             can be set to affect shape and starting amplitude {default: 0}
    offset_z = <float> phase delay (in degrees) of sin wave in z-axis
             can be set to affect shape and starting amplitude
             {default: ''} # same as  offset_x
    offset_x and offset_z can be used together to phase
    otherwise identical objects

    gain_x = <float>: multiplication factor for y-amplitude for x-direction
             {default: 1}
    gain_z = <float>: multiplication factor for y-amplitude for z-direction
             {default: ''} #=gain_x

    thickness = <float>: line thickness {default: 2}

    color = color name <string> (e.g. 'skyblue') OR
            rgb-value list of 3 floats (e.g. [1.0,1.0,1.0]) OR
            {default: ''} // opposite of background
            input illegal values for random coloring

    nstates =  <int>: number of states; {default: 60}
               this setting will define how many states
               the object will have (per wave) and how fluent and fast the
               animation will be.
               Higher values will promote 'fluent' transitions,
               but decrease flow speed.
                   Note: Frame animation cycles thought the states one at a time
                   and needs to be set accordingly. Can also be used to phase
                   otherwise identical objects.
               Set to 1 for static object {automatic minimum}

    startframe: specify starting frame <int> or set (='') to use current frame
                set to 'append' to extend movie from the last frame {default: 1}
      endframe: specify end frame <int> or set (='') to use last frame
                if 'append' is used for startframe,
                endframe becomes the number of frames to be appended instead
                {default: 1}
                Note: if start- and endframe are the same, movie animation will
                be skipped, the object will be loaded and can be used afterwards

    mode: defines positioning {default: 0}:
    0: pos1 is center
    1: pos1 is corner

    view {default: 0}:
    '0': off/ uses provided points to create CGO
    '1': overrides atom selections and uses current orienatation for positioning
         - pos1 = origin/center
         - pos2 = origin +1 in camera y
         - pos3 = origin +1 in camera z

    name: <string> name of cgo object {default: ''} / automatic

    quiet: <boolean> toggles output

Examples

The behaviour or shape of the cgo_grid object are substantially influenced by the arguments
