Functional Details #!N #!N This module is intended for use with
any module that creates lines (e.g., Streamline). #!N #!I0 #!N #!N
#!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* line #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the
line that is to be changed into a tube. If a
"normals" component is present (as would occur if the input field
#!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* curl #!EF were used with Streamline or if the #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*
flag #!EF parameter is set in Streamline), the tube shows a
corresponding twist. To show the twist most effectively, use the Ribbon
module. Excessive amounts of twist can produce a pinching effect. #!N
#!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* diameter #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the
tube diameter in the same units as those of the original
space. If this parameter is not specified, the module provides an
appropriate value (1/50 of the diagonal of the boundary box of
#!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* line #!EF . This value is attached to the output
#!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* tube #!EF as an attribute called "Tube diameter," which can
be extracted with the Attribute module. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*
ngon #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the number of sides of
the cross-sectional polygon of the tube. #!N #!I0 #!N #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18* #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*
style #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N in the current version of Data
Explorer has no effect. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N Components #!N
#!N Creates new "positions," "connections," and "normals" components. All other components
are propagated to the output. #!N #!N Example Visual Programs #!CForestGreen
