pngr#

SetUp.pngr(kywrd='', opt='', val='', **kwargs)#

Provides PNG file export for Mechanical APDL displays.

Mechanical APDL Command: PNGR

Parameters:
kywrdstr

Specifies various PNG file export options.

  • COMP - If Kywrd = COMP, then OPT is either ON or OFF (blank is interpreted as OFF). This option allows you to turn PNG file compression ON or OFF. If OPT = ON, then The VAL field is read to determine the degree of compression. See the VALUE argument for acceptable compression values.

  • ORIENT - If Kywrd = ORIENT, then OPT will determine the orientation of the entire plot. OPT can be either Horizontal (default) or Vertical.

  • COLOR - If Kywrd = COLOR, then OPT will determine the color depth of the saved file. OPT can be 0, 1, or 2, corresponding to Black and White, Grayscale, and Color (default), respectively.

  • TMOD - If Kywrd = TMOD, then OPT will determine the text method. OPT can be either 1 or 0, corresponding to bitmap text (default) or line stroke text, respectively.

  • DEFAULT - If Kywrd = DEFAULT, then all of the default values, for all of the Kywrd parameters listed above, are active.

  • STAT - Shows the current status of PNG file export.

optstr

OPT can have the following names or values, depending on the value for Kywrd (see above).

  • ON, OFF - If Kywrd = COMP, the values On and Off control the use of compression. The degree of compression is determined by VAL

  • Horizontal, Vertical - If Kywrd = ORIENT, the terms Horizontal or Vertical determine the orientation of the plot.

  • 0, 1, 2 - If Kywrd = COLOR, the numbers 0, 1, and 2 correspond to Black and White, Grayscale and Color, respectively.

  • 1, 0 - If Kywrd = TMOD, the values 1 and 0 determine whether bitmap (1) or stroke text (0) fonts will be used

valint or str

VAL is active only when Kywrd = COMP, and determines the degree of compression applied to the exported file (see above).

  • -1 - Apply the default, optimum value for compression. This value represents the best combination of speed and compression. It varies according to the release level of the ZLIB compression package.

  • 1-9 - Use this value to specify a specific compression level. 1 is the lowest compression level (fastest) and 9 is the highest compression level (slowest).
