APPENDIX B Cale aliases

Cale is a hydrodynamics code that supplies interactive graphics to its users. Since many MeshTV users also use Cale, we have provided several aliases to replicate commands that Cale users would know. We have not reproduced all of Cale's commands, but have provided an interface to what we believe are the more common commands.

MeshTV Cale aliases

Cale command

Description

bigwin

Reset the window to its original extents.

lev

Set the levels for a contour plot. This command takes a list of the values at which to place contour lines.

levn

Set the number of levels for contour and pseudocolor plots. the command takes a minimum value, maximum value, and the number of levels to place between the two.

plb

Plot material boundaries.

plb2

Plot material boundaries which have thinner lines that the plb boundary plot.

plboff

Remove the boundary plot.

plc

Plot a pseudocolor plot. This command uses the first appropriate variable found in the datafile, unless a variable is specified as an argument.

plcoff

Remove the pseudocolor plot.

plg

Plot grid motion labels to the nodes of the mesh. The variable name in your data file must be cgrdmv for this command to work.

plgoff

Remove grid motion labels.

pli

Plot contours. This command uses the first appropriate variable found in the datafile, unless a variable is specified as an argument.

plioff

Remove the contour plot.

plm

Plot the mesh.

plmoff

Remove the mesh plot.

plr

Plot region number labels to the nodes of the mesh. The variable name in your data file must be ireg for this command to work.

plroff

Remove the region number labels.

plv

Plot vectors. This command uses the supplied variable, if one is provided as an argument, else it uses the defvar named plv_var. This command fails if plv_var is undefined and no argument is provided.

plvscl

Scale the vector size. The first argument gives the scale, and the second optional argument specifies a variable. If no variable is provided, plv_var is used. The command fails if plv_var is undefined and no variable argument is provided.

plvoff

Remove the vector plot.

refb

Plot the boundary plot reflected across the positive X axis.

refboff

Remove the reflected boundary plot.

refc

Plot the pseudocolor plot reflected across the positive X axis. This command uses the first appropriate variable found in the datafile, unless a variable is specified as an argument.

refcoff

Remove the reflected pseudocolor plot.

refm

Plot the mesh reflected across the positive X axis.

refmoff

Remove the reflected mesh plot.

refs

Plot a filled material plot across the positive X axis.

refsoff

Remove the reflected filled material plot.

refv

Plot vectors reflected across the positive X axis. This command takes the same arguments as plv.

refvoff

Remove the reflected vector plot.

rshd

Plot a filled material plot.

rshdoff

Remove the filled material plot.

winp

Set the extents of the window. The arguments to this function are xmin, xman, ymin, ymax.
