A graphical manipulator allows you to modify specific items directly in the graphics area using interactive tools. Graphical manipulators are currently supported in the Section Cut panel and the Streamlines panel.

A description of the graphical manipulators available in each panel is outlined below:

Description |
Section Cut |
Single Direction/Arrow Three Directional |
These graphical manipulators allow you to modify the definition of the section. Section cuts defined by a specific plane can only be adjusted by moving the base point along the normal. Other section cuts can be translated or rotated anywhere in 3D space. |
Streamlines |
Line Two Directional Three Directional |
The streamline rake used to create streamlines is defined by seed nodes on a line, plane, or area. This line, plane, or area can be scaled, translated, or rotated using a manipulator specific to the rake type. |
To use graphical manipulators, select them with the mouse and drag them to perform an operation. Each manipulator will have different operations available. For example, to translate a section cut along an axis, select the arrow pointing in the desired direction and drag it with the mouse.
