WOLFRAM SYSTEM MODELER

Arrow

Visualizing an arrow with variable size; all data have to be set as modifiers (see info layer)

Information

Note: This element is intended to be used in CoordinateSystem only! To visualize an arrow in your model, the best solution is usually to use the visualizer Advanced.Arrow. The only difference between this two visualizers is that the current one does not utilizes outer planarWorld, whereas the other does.

Model Arrow defines an arrow that is dynamically visualized at the defined location (see variables below).

model Visualizers.Advanced.Arrow

The variables under heading Parameters below are declared as (time varying) input variables. If the default equation is not appropriate, a corresponding modifier equation has to be provided in the model where an Arrow instance is used, e.g., in the form

Visualizers.Advanced.Arrow arrow(diameter = sin(time));

Variable color is a RGB color space given in the range 0 .. 255. Predefined colors from Types.Defaults are used throughout the library to get a coherent visualization.
