Methods

Name Description
DrapingData.add_data_scope_entity(entity) Add 1 entity to the Data Scope of a plot
DrapingData.clear_data_scope() Cleares the complete data scope of a plot, i.e. all scope entities are removed at once
DrapingData.display_data_create([parent]) Function for internal use, not meant for scripting
DrapingData.find_parent(type) Function steps up the tree and returns the first parent with given type

DrapingData.get_element_indices([visible, ...]) Get element indices (ACP internal element numbers starting from 0) of plot
DrapingData.get_element_labels([visible, ...]) Get element labels (element numbers as read from / written to mesh files) of plot
DrapingData.get_full_description() This function returns information displayed together with the legend
DrapingData.obj_exists() Checks if __obj still references the C++ object (i.e. has not been reset to None by self._delete) and exists in the graph
