How to create legend in HM using TCL

Hello, everyone.

I want to create a legend like the one in the attachment, whose labels are userdefined and appear at middle.

Can TCI do this work in Hypermesh?

Thanks for any help!

HyperMesh

Yes, you can do it by Tk (commands frame, label)

Thank you for your reply, Sven.

But I don't quite follow.

Now when I create contour using tcl in HM, the legend shows like the attachment automatically. How can I modify it to the style above using TCL/Tk?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Hi,

You may not modify it

Tell us why you need to make legend, we will guide

I want to colour elements by sets and show set names as labels of the legend.

I take the set IDs as values of each element in sets(One element is included in only one set).

But when I create contour using tcl in HM, the legend labels are numbers(actually the set ID).

So I want to modify the labels from numbers to strings I want.

You can color elems by comp or assem, it is easier switch color option on display toolbar

Legend is just for quality plot.

I have to do my work described above using tcl for some reason. It seams that it is an impossible work to be done by the current APIs.

Thank you very much all the same.
