Detailed Description

Base graphics type: produces 3-D graphics visualising domains and fields.

Base graphics type: produces 3-D graphics visualising domains and fields from the owning scene's region. Derived types (points, lines, surfaces, contours and streamlines) specify the algorithm used to create the graphics and may have additional type-specific attributes.
