Computing Measurements for Vector Fields

You can compute measurements and add additional scalar data to vector fields in the Compute Measurements dialog.

Right-click the vector field to which you want to add scalar data and then choose Compute Measurements in the pop-up menu to open the Compute Measurements dialog, shown below.

The following categories and items are available for vector fields.

Measurements and other values for vector fields

	Description
Constant Vertex	Adds a constant vertex value. You can enter a title for the measurement and choose the constant value.
Distance from Center of Mass	Adds distance measurements computed from the vector field's center of mass.
Mapping from	Lets you map the scalar values from another object, such as an image, multi-ROI, or scalar mesh.

1. Right-click the vector field to which you want to add scalar values and then choose Compute Measurements in the pop-up menu.

   The Compute Measurements dialog appears.

2. Select the measurements and other values that you want to add to the selected vector field, as well as any other requirement(s).
3. Click Compute.

   The computed measurements and other values are selectable in the Scalar information box (see Scalar Information).
