## 14.9 Tensor plot

The tensor plot renders a glyph based on a second order tensor data field. Users can plot eigenvectors (for symmetric tensor fields), or the columns or rows of the matrix.
• Data field: selects the data field that will be used for the tensor plot.
• Calculate: sets the option to generate vector data that is used to generate the glyphs.
• Color map: sets the color map used for coloring the glyphs.
• Allow clipping: Allows the plot to be clipped by cutting planes or not.
• Show hidden: Show the plot on hidden materials or not.
• Scale: sets the scale factor of the glyphs.
• Density: sets the glyph density. When this value is less than one, glyphs are drawn on random elements, selected based on this density value.
• Glyph: sets the glyph that is used for rendering.
• Glyph Color: sets the option of how the glyphs are colored.
• Solid Color: sets the color that is used when the glyph color setting is set to Solid.
• Auto-scale: scales the glyphs automatically based on the overall mesh size.
• Normalize: Normalize the vectors when drawing.
