txtre#
- Mapdl.txtre(lab='', num='', n1='', n2='', ninc='', **kwargs)#
Controls application of texture to selected items.
APDL Command: /TXTRE
- Parameters:
- lab
You can apply texture according to the following labels:
- ELEM
Apply texture to elements N1 through N2 in steps of NINC.
- AREA
Apply texture to areas N1 through N2 in steps of NINC.
- VOLU
Apply texture to volumes N1 through N2 in steps of NINC.
- CM
Apply texture to the component named in N1. N2 and NINC are ignored.
- ON, OFF
Sets the specified texture display on or off. All other fields are ignored.
- File
If Lab = File, the command format is /TXTRE, File, Key_Index, Fname, Fext, –, Format (This variant of the command is applicable to 2-D drivers).
- Key_Index
The texture index associated with the file. If the number fifty-one (51) is used, the imported bitmap will be used as the window’s logo.
- Fname
File name and directory path (248 characters maximum, including the characters needed for the directory path). An unspecified directory path defaults to the working directory; in this case, you can use all 248 characters for the file name.
- Fext
Filename extension (eight-character maximum).
- Format
The file format. If Format = 0, the file is a pixmap (Linux) or Bitmap (PC). The file cannot contain a compressed image, and the PC file must be 8 or 24 bit BI_RGB format. If Format = 1 or JPEG, then the file is in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format. If Format = 2 or PNG, then the file is in PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format.

- 0

Apply texture to Lab items numbered N1 through N2 in steps of NINC (defaults to 1). If Lab = CM, then N1 is used to for the component name and N2 and NINC are ignored. If Lab = ELEM, AREA, or VOLU and N1 = blank or ALL, then the specified texture will be applied to all entities of type Lab. If N1 = P, then graphical picking is enabled.
Notes
This command is available for 3-D Open GL devices. 2-D devices are supported only for the Lab = File variation of the command, allowing imported bitmaps to be used for texturing and annotation. Textures can affect the speed of many of your display operations. You can increase the speed by temporarily turning the textures off (Utility Menu> PlotCtrls> Style> Texturing(3D)> Display Texturing). This menu selection toggles your textures on and off. When textures are toggled off, all of the texture information is retained and reapplied when texturing is toggled back on.
For some displays, the texture will appear distorted because of a technique used to enhance 3-D displays (/DV3D,TRIS,1). Disabling this function (/DV3D,TRIS,0) will improve the quality of some texture displays. Disabling the TRIS option of the /DV3D command will slow down 3-D displays significantly. Be sure to reapply the TRIS option after you obtain a satisfactory output.
Specifying /TXTRE,DEFA removes all texturing.
