dynamic_plane

anim_flipbook.dynamic_plane(p0: float, p1: float, p2: float, p3: float, p4: float, p5: float, p6: float, p7: float) → int

Specify dynamic flipbook animation of the selected 2d-clip plane part.

Used for flipbook animations of interactive isosurface, ijk-clip, and xyz-clip parts. Only applicable between commands:

anim_flipbook: interactive_part start

anim_flipbook: interactive_part stop

Args:

p0:

‘part’ GUI part number of the 2D-clip plane part to be animated

p1:

‘cid’ corner id (1, 2, 3, or 4) of the plane tool

p2:

‘XO’ initial x coordinate of the specified corner of the plane

p3:

‘YO’ initial y coordinate of the specified corner of the plane

p4:

‘ZO’ initial z coordinate of the specified corner of the plane

p5:

‘Xn’ final x coordinate of the specified corner of the plane

p6:

‘Yn’ final y coordinate of the specified corner of the plane

p7:

‘Zn’ final z coordinate of the specified corner of the plane
