Display objects are responsible for generating the visual representation of data that leaves OVITO's modification pipeline. They are automatically created by OVITO and are listed in the "Display" section of the pipeline editor.
The following types of display objects exist:
Display object | Description |
---|---|
Bonds | Displays the bonds between particles. |
Particles | Displays a set of particles. |
Simulation cell | Displays the simulation box. |
Surface mesh | Displays the smooth polygonal mesh, which is produced by the Construct Surface Mesh modifier. |
Triangle mesh | Displays a triangle mesh, loaded from a VTK file, for example. |
Vectors | Displays vectors associated with particles, e.g. displacement vectors. |
Trajectory lines | Displays the particle trajectory lines, which are created with the Create trajectory lines utility. |
Dislocations | Displays the dislocation lines extracted by the Dislocation analysis modifier. |
