Tutorial 6 - Advanced Visualizations Guide

 

The first five tutorials have used the default colors and properties specified by in:Flux when defining new visuals such as contour and isosurfaces. Tutorial 6 will go over more advanced ways of displaying data to best showcase the results of your simulations.

 

Unlike the previous tutorials which progress from start to finish, Tutorial 6 is more of a guide with several independent sections. Each section will dive into a single topic rather than be connected to the previous step. Feel free to jump around the sections and follow the topics that are most pertinent to you or your current project. You can always come back and search for specific topics via the Search bar on the upper left panel of the User Guide window.

  • Change project items coloring and opacity

  • Change visualization Color Methods and Color Maps
