Layout of HyperGraph bar charts

Oliver Zintz

Hello,

I am using HyperGraph 2024.1 to plot a bar chart of the modal effective mass from a modal analysis. I am working with the HGEFFMASS option in the OUTPUT card of OptiStruct to generate the data.

However, I am having difficulty formatting the resulting bar chart. Specifically, I cannot find a way to:

• Change the font size of the x-axis values (which represent the natural frequencies).
• Display an x-axis value for every natural frequency. There doesn't seem to be a "ticks per axis" option or similar for this axis.

Could you please advise on how to:

• Display all frequencies on the x-axis?
• Change the font size of the x-axis values?

(I don't have any difficulties to perform these tasks on the y-axis.)

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Kind regards,

Oliver

Hello @Oliver Zintz ,

We do not have an interactive option for bar chart to change the tic font settings for X axis, but it could be achieved through Tcl commands.

hwi GetActiveClientHandle plt

plt GetHorizontalAxisHandle hb 1

hb GetTicsFontHandle ft

ft SetSize 15

hb SetTicMethod "peraxis"

Does that help?

Best Regards,

Michael
