Visualization

mView has two general categories of visualization: spatial and non-spatial. Spatial plots are linear and scaled by distance in two or three dimensions, and are used for most mView plotting. For example, spatial plots are used for plotting concentration plumes. Non-spatial plots may be linear or log scale for any axis (2D or 3D), and are used for plotting data such as time series data or CDFs.

There are no limits to the number of plots that can be displayed simultaneously. Each plot is displayed in a separate top level window, and can be cascaded, tiled or minimized. In addition, mView’s composite plot type allows multiple individual plots to be displayed in the same window.

2D Spatial Plots

2D spatial plots are oriented in plan view (XY) or as vertical slices (XZ and YZ) referenced to a coordinate system. Data that can be plotted in 2D include contour lines, color fills, velocity vectors, node/element outlines, symbols and identifiers, boreholes, particle tracks, and context data.

3D Spatial Plots

3D spatial plots are also referenced to a single coordinate system. All data presentations available for 2D plots are available for plotting on slices in 3D plots. Additionally, isovolumes, color fills, node/element outlines, boreholes and particle tracks plot as fully three dimensional.

mView is capable of plotting 3D data using a transparency function. For example, the figure shown below plots a series of concentration isovolumes intersecting a local fracture system.

Plot Output

Output from mView is available as bitmaps, jpegs, and vector postscript files. Additionally, the Windows clipboard can be used to copy/paste plot windows directly into applications such as Word and PowerPoint. Animation support is provided by automatically generating sequentially numbered files, for processing by third-party applications.
