Edit a current plot screen

Zach Dyer

I am looking for a way in mechanical dpf to change a current plot (eg a stress contour plot). I want to change the tile of the plot, etc. I am bringing in csv results using the csv plot extension and want to be able to change the titles from default names like "Res 194").

Thinking there must be an API to edit the current plot.

Thanks!

@Zach Dyer ,

You may want to check out this post I did for working with .csv data. If you use a python result object, the title will be the name of the object in the tree, so you can effectively set it to whatever you like.

There is a plug-n-play python results object in this example that will be able to plot contours from a .csv file, so perhaps you can use this instead of the ACT app.
