If a "normals" component is present (as would occur if the input field #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* curl #!EF were used with Streamline or if the #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* flag #!EF parameter is set in Streamline), the tube shows a corresponding twist. To show the twist most effectively, use the Ribbon module. Excessive amounts of twist can produce a pinching effect. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* diameter #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the tube diameter in the same units as those of the original space. If this parameter is not specified, the module provides an appropriate value (1/50 of the diagonal of the boundary box of #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* line #!EF . This value is attached to the output #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* tube #!EF as an attribute called "Tube diameter," which can be extracted with the Attribute module. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* ngon #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the number of sides of the cross-sectional polygon of the tube. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* style #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N in the current version of Data Explorer has no effect. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N Components #!N #!N Creates new "positions," "connections," and "normals" components. All other components are propagated to the output. #!N #!N Example Visual Programs #!CForestGreen #!N #!N #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18* #!N Imide_potential.net #!N Interop.net #!N PlotLine2.net #!N RubberTube.net #!EF #!N #!N #!EC #!N #!N See Also #!N #!N #!Lfacenor,dxall847 h FaceNormals #!EL , #!Lribbon,dxall927 h Ribbon #!EL , #!Lstreakl,dxall954 h Streakline #!EL , #!Lstreaml,dxall955 h Streamline #!EL #!N #!N #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* Next Topic #!EF #!N #!N #!Lunmark,dxall972 h Unmark #!EL #!N #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18* #!N
