Abstract
An object may be colored to indicate draft angles of a pull direction at various locations of the object. The coloration advantageously employs a color map specifying a color spectrum for a range of trigonometric values of the draft angles.
Claims23
In a computing environment, a method of operation comprising
- receiving a pull direction of a modeled object;
- and
- causing the modeled object to be displayed with colors to indicate draft angles relative to the pull direction at various locations of the modeled object, employing a color map specifying a spectrum of colors for a plurality of trigonometric values of draft angles.
An apparatus comprising:
- storage medium having stored therein a plurality of programming instructions designed to enable the apparatus to
- receive a pull direction of a modeled object, and
- causing the modeled object to be displayed with colors to indicate draft angles relative to the pull direction at various locations of the modeled object, employing a color map specifying a spectrum of colors for a plurality of trigonometric values of draft angles;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the storage medium to execute the programming instructions.
