6. Visualization options

view_tab

The user can choose different colormaps using the 'Colormap' dropdown menu. Several colormaps are available. Which one is best depends on the particular aplication and whether particle velocities are being visualized (colormaps with less contrasting colors might be better suited to visualize particle velocity).


view_color

The colormaps currently available are:

    - Amazon
    - Casino
    - Jet
    - Monochrome
    - Sweeden
All colormaps depict linear values of sounds pressure, expressed in Pa. The user is able to toggle between relative and absolute pressure display.
