I am working on a plotter for Finite Element Method solutions. I decided to use the Plotly library because of the carpet plots. I have my data to plot and this is my result: Flow over NACA0012
Each element is represented as a Carpet, and for each carpet the solution is shown as a Countourcarpet. Everything is in place, but the rendering is too slow and the interactive interface is therefore nearly useless. Is there a way to enhance the performance of the rendering? I have read about different renderers in Plotly, but the plot just does not open. Is there a a way to speed up the rendering? Surely I will have to manage larger dataset. In this example I am using 740 carpets.
These are the Contourcarpet settings:
fig.add_trace(go.Contourcarpet(
a = a,
b = b,
z = u, # Sution correspondent at (a,b) parametric location
showlegend = showLegendFlag,
name = "Density",
legendgroup = "Density",
autocolorscale = False,
colorscale = "Inferno",
autocontour = False,
carpet = str(e), # The carpet on which to plot the solution is
# referenced as a string number
contours = dict(
start = start1, # Min value
end = end1, # Max value
size = abs(end1-start1) / countour_number, # Plot colour discretization
showlines = False
),
line = dict(
smoothing = 0
),
colorbar = dict(
len = 0.4,
y = 0.25
)
))
And these are the layout settings:
fig.update_layout(
plot_bgcolor="#FFF",
yaxis = dict(
zeroline = False,
range = [-1.800,1.800],
showgrid = False
),
dragmode = "pan",
height = 700,
xaxis = dict(
zeroline = False,
scaleratio = 1,
scaleanchor = 'y',
range = [-3.800,3.800],
showgrid = False
),
title = "Flow over NACA 0012",
hovermode = "closest",
margin = dict(
r = 80,
b = 40,
l = 40,
t = 80
),
width = 900
)
fig.show()
