BLOw one of the following objects

ALL    BOUndary    COLor    CONnection    CORner     DOMain    EXPansion    GRId    WINdow

ALL

Arguments: x y factor

Meaning: Blow all 2D boundaries and 2D expansions with the factor away from the origin (x,y) in the xy plane.

BOUndary

Arguments: n (WHAt) …

Meaning: Blow boundary number n. Special cases: n=0 for all boundaries, n<0 for boundary number 1 up to -n. WHAt specifies what part of the boundary is to be blown:

• AMPlitude Arguments …: factor: Multiply the amplitude of the boundary function by factor.

• RADius: Arguments …: m factor: Multiply the radius of the corner number m by factor.

• VALue: Arguments …:  factor1 factor2: Multiply the two boundary values by factor1 and factor2.

• WHAt missing: Arguments …: x y factor: Blow the boundary by factor away from the origin (x,y) in the xy plane.

COLor

Arguments: n x y factor

Meaning: Blow the boundaries and expansions with color number n with the factor away from the origin (x,y) in the xy plane. Special cases: n=0 for all domains, n<0 for domain number 1 up to -n.

CONnection

Arguments: n x y factor

Meaning: Blow the boundaries and expansions with connection flag n by factor away from the origin (x,y) in the xy plane. Special cases: n=0 for all domains, n<0 for domain number 1 up to -n.

CORner

Arguments: n m x y factor

Meaning: Blow the corner number m of the boundary number n with the factor away from the origin (x,y) in the xy plane. Special cases: n=0 for all boundaries, n<0 for boundary number 1 up to -n.

DOMain

Arguments: n x y factor

Meaning: Blow the boundaries and expansions of domain number n with the factor away from the origin (x,y) in the xy plane. Special cases: n=0 for all domains, n<0 for domain number 1 up to -n.

EXPansion

Arguments: n x y factor

Meaning: Blow the expansion number n with the factor away from the origin (x,y) in the xy plane. Special cases: n=0 for all expansions, n<0 for expansion number 1 up to -n.

GRId

Argument: factor

Meaning: Blow the grid for the regular or irregular field computation with the factor.

WINdow

Arguments: n factor

Meaning: Blow the graphic window number n with the factor. Special cases: n=0 for all windows, n<0 for window number 1 up to -n.
