The visualization modules viz., maps, vectors, color bars, isosurfaces etc. are all referred to as actors. Met.3D supports three types of actors namely:
- Actors providing scene context
This section provides a short overview of the actors currently implemented in Met.3D. Major characteristics of the actors are listed, however, many actors provide more properties than currently documented.
Note
For all actors that visualize forecast data please note the following:
- The “variables” (see Adding forecast data to the scene) of the actors can be synchronized with the global time and ensemble settings but don’t have to be synchronized (e.g. if different ensemble members shall be compared).
- Availability of ensemble functionality depends on the data pipeline (if connected to an ensemble dataset, the pipeline can provide the data of different ensemble members or compute statistical quantities including ensemble mean and probabilities).
