Select
from the main menu bar or click
in the toolbox to access the Contour Plot
Options dialog box. Click the following tabs to customize the
appearance of contour plots in the current viewport:
-
Basic: Choose the contour type (including whether
to show tick marks for line elements), contour intervals, and contour method.
-
Color & Style: The Color &
Style page contains the following tabs:
-
Model Edges: Control the color of model edges.
-
Spectrum: Choose contour colors.
-
Line: For line-type contours control the style
and thickness of each line.
-
Banded / Isosurface: For banded- or
isosurface-type contours control the color, style, and thickness of contour
edges.
-
Limits: Control the computation of contour limits
and the display of annotations for the maximum and minimum contour values.
-
Other: Control tick mark plot display options, the
display of nodal averaged vector or tensor orientations, and the display of
section point or envelope plots.
Other options such as the render style, edge visibility, deformation scale
factor, and translucency are located in the
Common Plot
Options dialog box. If you choose to plot contours on both
the undeformed and the deformed shape, you can use the
Superimpose Plot
Options to customize the appearance of the undeformed shape.
See
Superimposing deformed and undeformed model plots,
for more information about superimpose plots. To learn how to customize the
render style and underlying model of your contour plot, see
Customizing plot display.

Understanding how results are computed.
