[Gmsh] PATH command

[abhishek basak]

Hi Christophe,

I tried your suggestion. It gave a graph al right, but not what I had expected. I gave the following dummy ".pos" file

View "a scalar map" {
ST(0.0,0.0,0.0,10.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,10.0,0.0){10.0,10.0,10.0};
};

this is stored in the file test.pos attached below.
Here a scalar triangle is defined with coordinates (0.0,0.0,0.0),(10.0,0.0,0.0) and (0.0,10.0,0.0). A plot of it is shown in Screen-1.jpg. Then I "cut grid" with the following i/p (Screen-2.jpg)

x0=0.0
y0=0.0
z0=0.0

x1=10.0
y1=0.0
z1=0.0

x2=0.0
y2=10.0
z2=0.0

ConnectPoints=0

and then i set "2D space plot". The output is in file Screen-3.jpg. I expected a straight horizontal line, certainly not what I ultimately obtained.

Did I do something wrong anywhere?

Please advise,

Thanking you,

Abhishek Basak
