In the postfeko lua api, how do I SetFixedAxisValue with nearfield arbitrary point?

tobias_from_edag

i have a calculation that uses "nearfield arbitrary points" to specify the calculated nearfield.

I want to set the fixed axis value for a cartesian plot to all of those arbitrary points.

for one point I assumed I can use:

pointlist= trace:GetFixedAxisAvailableValues("Near field arbitrary Points")

point= pointlist[i]

trace:SetFixedAxisValue("Near field arbitrary Points", point ,"m")

but it does not work. What format does SetFixedAxisValue expect for arbitrary points and how can I extract it from the output returned from GetFixedAxisAvailableValues

Hi @tobias_from_edag ,

I believe the issue might be related to the structure of the point object returned from :

pointlist= trace:GetFixedAxisAvailableValues("Near field arbitrary Points")

point= pointlist[i]

trace:SetFixedAxisValue("Near field arbitrary Points", point ,"m")

The pointList [i] is usually a table containing {x=…, y=…, z=…} ( For example, x=0.1, y=0.2, z=03)

However, it is possible that in some cases it may include some metadata or extra fields. So, if GetFixedAxisAvailableValues does not accept it, you can try :

trace:SetFixedAxisValue("Near field arbitrary Points", {x=point.x, y=point.y, z=point.z} ,"m")
