gropt

Mapdl.gropt(lab='', key='', **kwargs)

Sets various line graph display options.

APDL Command: /GROPT

Parameters:

lab

Apply display style as selected from the following labels:

AXDV

Axis division (tick) marks (defaults to KEY = ON).

AXNM

Axis scale numbers (defaults to KEY = ON, which puts numbers at the back plane of the graph). If KEY = FRONT, numbers are on the front plane of the graph.

AXNSC

Axis number size scale factor. Input the scale value for KEY (defaults to 1.0).

ASCAL

Automatic scaling of additional Y-axes for multi-curve [/GRTYP, 2 or 3] graphs (defaults to KEY = ON). If KEY = OFF, use base Y-axis scaling (see the /YRANGE command).

LOGX

Log X scale (defaults to KEY = OFF (linear)).

LOGY

Log Y scale (applies only to the base Y axis) (defaults to KEY = OFF (linear)).

FILL

Color fill areas under curves (defaults to KEY = OFF).

CGRID

Superimpose background grid [/GRID] over areas under filled curves (defaults to KEY = OFF).

DIG1

Number of significant digits before decimal point for axis values. Input the value for KEY (defaults to 4).

DIG2

Number of significant digits after decimal point for axis values. Input the value for KEY (defaults to 3).

VIEW

View key for graph displays (defaults to KEY = OFF, in which case the view is (0,0,1) for 2-D graph displays or (1,2,3) for 3-D graph displays). If KEY = ON, the view settings for graph displays are the same as the view settings for the model.

REVX

Plots the values on the X-axis in reverse order.

REVY

Plots the values on the Y-axis in reverse order.

DIVX

Determines the number of divisions (grid markers) that will be plotted on the X axis.

DIVY

Determines the number of divisions (grid markers) that will be plotted on the Y axis.

LTYP

Determines whether ANSYS generated (KEY = 1) or system derived (KEY = 0) fonts will be used for the axis labels.

CURL

Determines the position of the curve labels. If (KEY = 1), the curve label will be plotted in the legend column, and the label will be displayed in the same color as the curve. If (KEY = 0) the curve labels will be plotted near the curve. (default).

XAXO

When you use this label, the subsequent KEY value will determine an offset amount from the default (along the bottom) location for the X axis. If KEY = 1.0, a full offset occurs (the X axis is moved to the top of the graph). If KEY = 0.5, the axis is offset to the midpoint of the graph, and if KEY = 0 the axis remains in the original position, along the bottom of the graph. For any offset, a grey copy of the original axis (containing the axis numbering) remains at the original location.

YAXO

When you use this label, the subsequent KEY value will determine an offset amount from the default (along the left side of the graph) location for the Y axis. If KEY = 1.0, a full offset occurs (the Y axis is moved to the right side of the graph). If KEY = 0.5, the axis is offset to the midpoint of the graph, and if KEY = 0 the axis remains in the original position, along the left side of the graph. For any offset, a gray copy of the original axis (containing the axis numbering) remains at the original location.

key

Option values:

OFF (0)

Do not apply selected style.

ON (1)

Apply selected style.

nnnn

If Lab is DIG1 or DIG2, input the number of digits.

nn

If Lab is AXNSC, input the scale factor.

FRONT

If Lab is AXNM, FRONT may also be input.

Ndiv

If Lab is DIVX or DIVY, determines the number of divisions (1-99) that will be applied to the axis.

Kfont

If Lab is LTYP, Kfont is ON (1) or OFF(0). ON will use ANSYS generated fonts for the axis labels, while OFF will use SYSTEM (Windows, X-system, etc.) fonts. The default value is ON (ANSYS fonts).

Notes

Sets various line graph display options. Issue /GROPT,STAT to display the current settings. Issue /GROPT,DEFA to reset the default specifications. ANSYS informs you that graph view manipulation is inactive unless you have issued the /GROPT,VIEW,ON command. See the /AXLAB, /GRTYP, /GRID, and /GTHK commands for other graph control options.

Automatic scaling using the /XRANGE and /YRANGE commands will often yield inappropriate range values for logarithmic scales (/GROPT, LOGX or /GROPT, LOGY).

This command is valid in any processor.
