poIImagePlane LocateBy2Points

Aligns a 3D image plane with a model.

Syntax

Imageplane_handle LocateBy2PointspointList

Application

HyperView Tcl Modify

Description

An image plane in 3D mode can be aligned with a model to check correlation between a video and a simulation. This command aligns the image plane by defining a plane in model space, followed by two points in model space, and two corresponding points on the image or video. The image plane is then scaled and positioned appropriately to match the points specified.

Inputs

pointList: The alignment point list. The list consists of the X, Y, Z values of a vector defining a normal to the 3D plane on which the image plane will reside. This is followed by two X, Y, Z points in model space, and two corresponding X, Y points on the image.

Example

To create a 3D image plane, perform a 2 point alignment, and then query the image plane for alignment parameters:

Note: This example assumes that LS-Dyna Bumper demo model has been loaded.
