# DisplacementPlot

VTKExamples/Cxx/VisualizationAlgorithms/DisplacementPlot

### Description

This example shows modal lines for a vibrating rectangular beam. The vibration mode in this figure is the second torsional mode, clearly indicated by the crossing modal lines.

The default color scheme shows cool color for maximum negative motion, warm color maximum positive motion, with white at the nodes.

For other possible color maps see: Diverging Color Maps for Scientific Visualization.

Info

See Figure 6-15 in Chapter 6 the VTK Textbook.

### Code

DisplacementPlot.cxx

    // Translated from dispPlot.tcl
    /*
    Produce figure 6-15(b) from the VTK Textbook.
    Surface plot of a vibrating plane.

    The color_scheme option allows you to select a series of colour schemes.
    0: The default:- cool maximum negative motion,
                     warm maximum positive motion, white at the nodes.
    1: Alternate choice:- green maximum negative motion,
                          purple maximum positive motion, white at the nodes.
    2: The original:- white at maximum motion, black at the nodes.

### Download and Build DisplacementPlot

Click here to download DisplacementPlot and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball DisplacementPlot.tar has been downloaded and extracted,

    cd DisplacementPlot/build

If VTK is installed:

    cmake ..

If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:

    cmake -DVTK_DIR:PATH=/home/me/vtk_build ..

Build the project:

    make

and run it:

    ./DisplacementPlot
