General Module Function
The regional_average module averages nodal data values from the input field that fall into the input polygon regions. It then outputs a point for each region that contains the average x, y coordinates and the average of each selected nodal data component.
Module Input Ports
regional_averages has two input ports. The first port(the leftmost one) receives any field with nodal data. The second port receives triangulated polygons (from triangulate_polygon, or other sources) into its right input port. These polygons must contain at least 1 cell data component representing the regional ID.
Module Output Ports
regional_averages has two output ports.
The first port outputs a field of points with x and y coordinates located at the average x and y position for each region. The z coordinate of each point is located at the midpoint of the z extents of the input field. Each point contains the average of each nodal data component from the input field that falls within the selected polygon regions.
The second port contains a renderable sphere placed at each output point that is colored according to the selected data component.
Module Control Panel
The module's control panel is shown above.
The Run toggle causes the module to run whenever your inputs change.
The Radius field sets the radius of the renderable output spheres. Setting this value to -1.0 causes the radius of the spheres to be determined from the extents of the input field.
The Z Pos field allows the user to set the vertical position of the regional average output points.
The Regional ID Component selects which cell data component from the polygon regions input should be used to identify each region.
The Data for Visualization parameter selects which nodal data component from the input field to color the output spheres by.
