Make bands between vertical pillars

 Make bands between vertical pillars and with preserving of scalars. Can be used to model stacking velocities, EMG data, fault pillars.

The vertical pillars are connected into triangle strips between the points in the pillars. It requires that the vertical pillars are correctly sorted in sequence.

trg

 The trg argument means to use Delauney triangulation on all pillars which then can be sorted in any order.

Make data from cells

mak cel
number

Make cell number into active data. Counting of cells and points starts from 0.

dis length [3d [only] ] [acc]

Start a new cell whenever the distance between points are greater than length. Distance calculation is by default done in the xy plane.

The 3d argument means calculating distance also for the z coordinate. 3d only will only use the z coordinates in distance calculation.

The acc argument means use the accumulated distance between points. A new cell will be generated when the accumulated distance is greater than length.

Legacy: Versions up until 8.0.4 had optional argument norem. The norem argument prevented the removal of single points in single cells. These points are now always preserved; making this argument redundant.

Tip: Single points may be removed by mak rem poi 1 . If the purpose is to remove all line connections, ending up with single points the command mak poi should be considered.

dis two

Start a new cell whenever the distance between points are greater than the first two points.

rep

Select cells by repeated digitizing by p in the active graphic window. Terminate by keyboard u.

sel frequency [start start_position]

Select cells according to the selection frequency.

add value first | last

Add a point to the first or last point of the cells. x y and scalar are from the first or last point, while z gets the value.

gen number

Generate points at number number from every cell. Useful for stacking velocity data getting points at a specific number.

gen outline

Generate outline points for all cells. For stacking velocity data the top points are selected first, the the bottom points.

sim

The first and last point in all cells all generated to a new data set.

cur

The cell nearest to the cursor is selected to a new data set.

Make cell scalars

Make cell scalars. Will create cell scalars for the cells. Mapping using cell scalars will shift colors for cells and not the points as with point scalars.

Make cell from equal z coordinate

To create cells in a polydata set where there are no or few cells, but where the z values of the points are of equal values until it shifts to another value. The polydata will be split into cells where the z value shifts. Example: To be used for a saved contour data set all in one cell that has to be splitted into cells.

Make circle

mak cir
radius

Clean up polydata

Clean up polydata by removing unregistered or double registered points.

Make compass rose in graphical window

Makes a compass rose in upper right corner of the screen. Will follow the movements of the the camera and show correct north direction. Next mak com turns it off or one can use the off argument.

cpl

Make closed polyline. Will sort and close gaps of a set of line pieces and connect the first and last point.

Make grid from polygrid

Make structured points grid within grid window from polysampled grid; i.e. the opposite of mak p. Sometimes it is necessary to enter rows and columns in the grid (i.e number of elements in the rows and columns) when these values may have been lost due to influence by similar values in a another grid or cube.
