Graph Properties and Settings

Each graph that is created or imported appears on a separate line in the top section of the Data Properties and Settings panel. You can control the visibility of a graph within the 3D view of a scene with the icons available in the top section of the panel, as well as access additional settings in the lower section. Additional options for examining graphs are available in the Measurement Inspector (see Evaluating Graphs with the Measurement Inspector). A pop-up menu lets you import and map scalar values, add vertex measurements, plot graph tortuosity, as well as export graphs and execute macros (see Graph Pop-Up Menu).

All graphs that are available for viewing and evaluation are listed in the top section of the Data Properties and Settings panel.

  • Click the Graphs icon at the top of the panel to see the available graphs (see Filters for information about filtering the listed items).
  • Click the Eye icon on the left side of the listed item to show or hide the graph in the current 3D view. Click the 3D icon on the right side of the listed item to show or hide the graph in the 3D view of the current scene (see Object List for more information about changing visibility).
  • Select a graph to view basic information about the graph and access settings to modify its appearance in 3D views.
  • Right-click a graph to access the Measurement Inspector, import and map scalar values, add vertex measurements, plot graph tortuosity, as well as export graphs and execute macros (see Graph Pop-Up Menu).

The information available for a selected graph includes the number of vertices, edges, and size along each axis.

Graph information
  Description

Name

Indicates the name of the selected graph.

Number of vertices

Indicates the total number of vertices within the selected graph.

Number of edges

Indicates the total number of edges within the selected graph.

Edges total length

If computed, indicates the total length of the edges within the selected graph.

Note Click the Refresh button to compute the total length of all edges.

X size

Indicates the size of the graph along the X-axis.

Y size

Indicates the size of the graph along the Y-axis.

Z size

Indicates the size of the graph along the Z-axis.

The options in the Graph settings box let you select edge and vertex measurements, apply thresholds, and compute histograms. You can also adjust properties, such as anti-aliasing, projection mode, and lighting effects in the Scene's Views Properties panel (see 3D Scene's View Properties).

The following settings are available for graphs created from regions of interest and multi-ROIs (see Creating Sparse and Dense Graphs, Creating Graphs from Connectivity, and Extracting Three-Phase Boundary Graphs).

Graph settings
  Description

Edge radius measurement

Lets you choose the scalar values, if available, that you want to apply to the edges of the selected graph.

Edge radius

Provides options to adjust the radius of the edges as follows:

  • Drag the Edge radius slider to manually adjust the radius of the edges.
  • Check Use scalar real scale as edge radius option to apply the real scalar values to the edges of the graph.

Range

Indicates the minimum and maximum values of the selected edge radius measurement.

Edge LUT measurement

Lets you choose the scalar values, if available, that you want to map to the LUT applied to the edges of the selected graph.

Edge LUT

Lets you to select a Look-Up Table (LUT) function, which determines how colors are mapped to the selected measurement. LUTs can be edited interactively to optimize visualizations.

  • To apply a LUT, select the required LUT in the drop-down menu.
  • Click the Edit button to edit the applied LUT in the LUT Editor (see Using the LUT Editor).

Range

Indicates the minimum and maximum values of the selected edge LUT measurement.

Vertex radius measurement

Lets you choose the scalar values, if available, that you want to apply to the vertices of the selected graph.

Vertex radius

Provides options to adjust the radius of the vertices as follows:

  • Drag the Vertex radius slider to manually adjust the radius of the vertices.
  • Check Use scalar real scale as vertex radius option to apply the real scalar values to the vertices of the graph.

Range

Indicates the minimum and maximum values of the selected vertex radius measurement.

Vertex LUT measurement

Lets you choose the scalar values, if available, that you want to map to the LUT applied to the vertices of the selected graph.

Vertex LUT

Lets you to select a Look-Up Table (LUT) function, which determines how colors are mapped to the selected measurement. LUTs can be edited interactively to optimize visualizations.

  • To apply a LUT, select the required LUT in the drop-down menu.
  • Click the Edit button to edit the applied LUT in the LUT Editor (see Using the LUT Editor). You can also create your own LUTs or download them from the Infinite Toolbox (see Infinite Toolbox).

Range

Indicates the minimum and maximum values of the selected vertex LUT measurement.

Lets you plot selected scalar values on a histogram, as shown below.

Lets you export the scalar values contained in the selected graph to a comma separated-values (*.csv extension) file.

Lets you import scalar values from a comma separated-values (*.csv extension) file (see ).

Lets you export a graph to a region of interest.

The Clip tool allows you to clip interactively along orthogonal and oblique planes in 3D views of the selected graph (see Clipping). You should note that clipping is applied by default to graphs.

Do the following to clip a graph:

  • Click the Clip tool on the Clip panel that appears on the Data Properties and Setting panel.
  • Drag a face of the Clip box to move a plane up and down or in and out. Each plane of the 6 sides of the parallelogram can be moved independently.
  • Drag any of the control points to rotate a side of the parallelogram.
  • Translate the Clip box by dragging from the central control point.
