Feature request: allow to visualize tensorial properties on structures

Open Luthaf opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

The idea would be to add the ability to show vector properties as arrows, and rank-2 tensorial properties as ellipsoïds, à-la shiftml.org.

Additionally, we could represent scalar properties using colors on the structure side itself.

Like #117, most visualization engines give us primitives to build such visualizations, and most of the work is in defining the input format for vector/tensorial properties; and passing said data to the visualization engine.
