Additional user inputs for animate_deformedshape() #67

Open u-anurag opened 4 years ago

u-anurag commented 4 years ago

These additional inputs will make it possible to focus the animation of a specific part of the structure,

@cslotboom I think the "monitorElement" user input will help here. We may not need these user inputs.

Hey, I actually didn't see this. I'm not sure how hard it will be to set these, but I'll take a look sometime soon. I was thinking about a UI-feature that would let the user actively set plot bounds. Something like:

I know many people aren't keen on UI in the OpenSees, so I might not peruse it.

This would be a great feature to have if we could. OpenSees core team should focus on the numerical side and we can focus on user friendliness. Go team!

I know many people aren't keen on UI in the OpenSees, so I might let that idea sit for now.

Agreed!

u-anurag commented 4 years ago

Is this one easy to add?

cslotboom commented 4 years ago

Reasonably. I believe the function has to be a class. I actually have something that works for 2D.

My worry is the function might look kind of messy. Maybe I will a draft of the function to the experimental folder so you can take a look.

u-anurag commented 4 years ago

If it easy to implement this with a class, there is no need to implement this for now. We will ultimately convert all the functions to classes. We can wait until then. I'll add this issue to milestone 3.
