@item Plugin(Annotate)
Plugin(Annotate) adds the text string `Text', in
font `Font' and size `FontSize', in the view `iView'.
If `3D' is equal to 1, the plugin inserts the
string in model coordinates at the position
(`X',`Y',`Z'). If `3D' is equal to 0, the plugin
inserts the string in screen coordinates at the
position (`X',`Y'). The string is aligned according
to `Align'. If `iView' < 0, the plugin is run on the
current view.

Plugin(Annotate) is executed in-place.

@item Plugin(CutGrid)
Plugin(CutGrid) cuts the view `iView' with a
rectangular grid defined by the 3 points
(`X0',`Y0',`Z0') (origin), (`X1',`Y1',`Z1') (axis of U)
and (`X2',`Y2',`Z2') (axis of V). The number of points
along U and V is set with the options `nPointsU'
and `nPointsV'. If `ConnectPoints' is zero, the
plugin creates points; otherwise, the plugin
generates quadrangles, lines or points depending
on the values of `nPointsU' and `nPointsV'. If
`iView' < 0, the plugin is run on the current view.

@item Plugin(CutMap)
Plugin(CutMap) extracts the isosurface of value
`A' from the view `iView' and draws the
`dTimeStep'-th value of the view `dView' on the
isosurface. If `iView' < 0, the plugin is run
on the current view. If `dTimeStep' < 0, the
plugin uses, for each time step in `iView', the
corresponding time step in `dView'. If `dView'
< 0, the plugin uses `iView' as the value source.
If `ExtractVolume' is nonzero, the plugin
extracts the isovolume with values greater (if
`ExtractVolume' > 0) or smaller (if `ExtractVolume'
< 0) than the isosurface `A'.

using the vectorial values (the displacements)
stored in the `dTimeStep'-th time step of the

Default value: @code{-1}
@end table

@item Plugin(Eigenvectors)
Plugin(Eigenvectors) computes the three (right)
eigenvectors of each tensor in the view `iView'
and sorts them according to the value of the
associated eigenvalues. If `ScaleByEigenvalues'
is set, each eigenvector is scaled by its
associated eigenvalue. The plugin gives an error
if the eigenvectors are complex. If `iView' < 0,
the plugin is run on the current view.

vector views.

Numeric options:
@table @code

@end table

@item Plugin(Evaluate)
Plugin(Evaluate) sets the `Component'-th
component of the `TimeStep'-th time step in the
view `iView' to the expression `Expression'.
`Expression' can contain:

- the usual mathematical functions (Log, Sqrt
Sin, Cos, Fabs, ...) and operators (+, -, *, /, ^);

- the symbols x, y and z, to retrieve the
coordinates of the current node;

- the symbols Time and TimeStep, to retrieve the
current time and time step values;

- the symbol v, to retrieve the `Component'-th
component of the field in `iView' at the
`TimeStep'-th time step;

- the symbols v0, v1, v2, ..., v8, to retrieve each
component of the field in `iView' at the
`TimeStep'-th time step;

- the symbol w, to retrieve the `Component'-th
component of the field in `ExternalView' at the
`ExternalTimeStep'-th time step. If `ExternalView'
and `iView' are based on different spatial grids,
or if their data types are different, `ExternalView'
is interpolated onto `iView';

- the symbols w0, w1, w2, ..., w8, to retrieve each
component of the field in `ExternalView' at the
`ExternalTimeStep'-th time step.

If `TimeStep' < 0, the plugin automatically loops
over all the time steps in `iView' and evaluates
`Expression' for each one. If `ExternalTimeStep'
< 0, the plugin uses `TimeStep' instead. If
`Component' < 0, the plugin automatically loops
over all the components in the view and
evaluates `Expression' for each one. If `iView'
< 0, the plugin is run on the current view. If
`ExternalView' < 0, the plugin uses `iView'
instead.

Plugin(Evaluate) is executed in-place.

@item Plugin(Extract)
Plugin(Extract) extracts a combination of
components from the `TimeStep'th time step
in the view `iView'. If only `Expression0' is
given (and `Expression1', ..., `Expression8' are
all empty), the plugin creates a scalar view.
If `Expression0', `Expression1' and/or
`Expression2' are given (and `Expression3',
..., `Expression8' are all empty) the plugin
creates a vector view. Otherwise the plugin
creates a tensor view. In addition to the usual
mathematical functions (Exp, Log, Sqrt, Sin, Cos,
Fabs, etc.) and operators (+, -, *, /, ^), all
expressions can contain the symbols v0, v1, v2,
 ..., vn, which represent the n components of the
field, and the symbols x, y and z, which represent
the three spatial coordinates. If `TimeStep' < 0,
the plugin extracts data from all the time steps
in the view. If `iView' < 0, the plugin is run on
the current view.

Lambda(1,2,3) of the tensor (S_ik S_kj +
Om_ik Om_kj), where S_ij = 0.5 (ui,j + uj,i)
and Om_ij = 0.5 (ui,j - uj,i) are respectively
the symmetric and antisymmetric parts of the
velocity gradient tensor. Vortices are well
represented by regions where Lambda(2) is
negative. If `iView' contains tensor elements,
the plugin directly uses the tensors as the
values of the velocity gradient tensor; if
`iView' contains vector elements, the plugin
uses them as the velocities from which to derive
the velocity gradient tensor. If `iView' < 0,
the plugin is run on the current view.

using the values associated with the
`TimeStep'-th time step. Instead of elevating
the nodes along the X, Y and Z axes as in
View[`iView'].RaiseX, View[`iView'].RaiseY
and View[`iView'].RaiseZ, the raise is applied
 along the radius of a sphere centered at (`Xc',

grid defined by the 3 points (`X0',`Y0',`Z0')
(origin), (`X1',`Y1',`Z1') (axis of U) and
(`X2',`Y2',`Z2') (axis of V). The number of points
that are going to be transported along U and V is
set with the options `nPointsU' and `nPointsV'.
Then, we solve the equation DX(t)/dt = V(x,y,z)
with X(t=0) chosen as the grid and V(x,y,z)
interpolated on the vector view. The timestep and
the maximum number of iterations are set with
the options `MaxIter' and `DT'. The time stepping
scheme is a RK44. If `iView' < 0, the plugin is run
on the current view.
