The Field is constructed by a number of frames that have their size defined by the Width and Height parameters. The pattern parameter decides the types of output field. If pattern is 0, the frames in the ouput field are assigned a uniform value. The value of each frame is increased progressively from the bottom frame to the top frame. If pattern is 1, each frame has linear increasing node data values from one side to the other side, </p> <p> Note: The data type of the output field is integer. </p> <h4>Parameters</h4> <p> <i><b>Pattern</b></i> </p> <p> Pattern has two possible values 0 or 1. Value 0 generates progressively increasing uniform field from bottom to top. Value 1 generates progressively increasing node data in each frame. </p> <p> <i><b>Width</b></i> </p> <p> The width of output field and also the width of each frame. </p> <p> <i><b>Height</b></i> </p> <p> The height of output field and also the height of each frame. </p> <p> <i><b>Num_frames</b></i> </p> <p> The number of frames in the output field </p> <h4>Outputs</h4> <p> <i><b>out</b></i> </p> <p> The output field contains uniform mesh data and progressively increasing node data. </p> <h3>Utility Modules</h3> <p> The User Macro GenerateTestData makes use of the Functional Macro GenerateTestDataFunc and the UI Macro GenerateTestDataUI. </p> <h3>Example</h3> <p> An example application GenerateTestDataEg is provided, which demonstrates the structure of test data field using both orthoslice and isosurface. </p> <h3>Files</h3> <p><i>iac_proj/gentest/gtstmods.v</i> contains the V definitions of the GenerateTestDataParams parameter block and the Generate_Test_Data module.</p> <p><i>iac_proj/gentest/gtstmacs.v</i> contains the V definitions of the GenerateTestDataFunc Functional Macro, the GenerateTestDataUI User Interface Macro, and the GenerateTestData User Macro. </p> <p><i>iac_proj/gentest/gtstapps.v</i> contains the V definition of the example application GenerateTestDataEg.</p> <h3>Author</h3> <p> <pre> Dave Goughnour Advanced Visual Systems, Inc. </pre> </p> <h3>Modifications</h3> <p> <pre> MA YingLiang Manchester Visualization Centre </pre> </p> <h3>Contact</h3> <p> <pre> International AVS Centre Manchester Computing University of Manchester Oxford Road Manchester United Kingdom M13 9PL </pre> </p>  </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr height="100%"> <td class="sideLink" width="25%" align="left" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> <p><a href="../../../../general/index.shtml" target="_top">General Information</a></p> <p><a href="../../../../repository/index.shtml" target="_top">Repositories</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../new/index.shtml" target="_top">  New Releases</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../download/index.shtml" target="_top">  Download</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../submit/index.shtml" target="_top">  Submit</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../pfiles/index.shtml" target="_top">  Project Files</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../avs5/index.shtml" target="_top">  AVS5</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../express/index.shtml" target="_top">  AVS/Express</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../atoz.shtml" target="_top">    A to Z</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../number.shtml" target="_top">    Project #</a></p> <p></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../data_io.shtml" target="_top">    Data IO</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../filters.shtml" target="_top">    Filters</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../mappers.shtml" target="_top">    Mappers</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../misc.shtml" target="_top">    Miscellaneous</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel3"><a href="../../special.shtml" target="_top">    Special Projects</a></p> <p class="sideLinkLevel2"><a href="../../../pog/index.shtml" target="_top">  Project Guidelines</a></p> <p><a href="../../../../usergroup/index.shtml" target="_top">User Group</a></p> <p><a href="../../../../training/index.shtml" target="_top">Training Materials</a></p> </td> </tr> </table> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="c6c6e0"> <tr> <td><img src="../../../../img/foot1.gif" alt="IAC" width="155" height="25"></td> <td width="100%"> Last Updated:  26th November 2002 </td> </tr> </table>
