Missing argument in plot_nodal_disp function?

[TonggeWu94]

Please see the function definition and function call in the example. There is no show_displacement argument, cannot even find it in the general plotter function as a keyword argument.

Thanks for pointing this out.

The issue is that we're using **kwargs for show_displacement as I don't want to duplicate all the signatures, but I've neglected to include documentation for the kwarg in the documentation anywhere. I'll patch this.

Emm, it seems like this show_displacement is not recognized as keyword argument?

You're correct, I didn't pass this to the other plotting methods, it's just there for plot_nodal_displacement and it's completely missing within the general plotter. Now that I think of it, adding in displacement might not be as straightforward as I hoped since I'll have to request the displacement results as well as the current results being plotted. I'll see if I can get to this over the weekend.

resolved, Thanks!
