Fig. 22 Vertical cross-section actor, together with a transfer function.

Description

The vertical section actor draws vertical 2D cross-sections of multiple forecast data fields along an arbitrary path.

  • The actor supports multiple forecast data fields.

  • Each data field can be rendered as line contours or filled contours.

  • A vertical section can be drawn along arbitrarily many waypoints.

  • The waypoints can be interactively moved by the user (to move the waypoints, enable a scene view’s “interaction mode” by double-click on the scene).

  • Waypoints can be exported in “flight track file” for the DLR Mission Support System (MSS), or read from files exported by the MSS.

  • Bottom and top pressure limits of the section can be adjusted.

Adding waypoints

The waypoints manager can be activated by using F2 or from the menu View → Show waypoints. The waypoints manager has options to insert, delete or edit waypoints. Also, it is possible to export or import the waypoints stored as a file.
