3.7.8.4.11. Tecplot Layout Subfigure

The "Tecplot" class of subfigure is used to set up Tecplot to open a layout within each solution folder and attempt to export a figure. There are advanced options that instruct Cape to edit the layout file. These values can utilize the value of any trajectory key using sigils. For example, the following ColorMap instruction sets the Mach 0.0 color to "darkpurple", the maximum Mach number color to "darkorange", a sharp purple-to-green border at Mach 1.0, and the freestream Mach number to "white".

"ColorMap": {
    "0.0": "darkpurple",
    "1.0": ["#b55fbf", "green"],
    "$mach": "white",
    "max(1.1,1.4*$mach)": "darkorange"
}

Colors are interpreted by cape.color. The value for $mach is determined from the case number and the current cape.runmatrix.RunMatrix for the run configuration. If mach is not a trajectory key of the current run matrix, this specification will fail.

The full list of options is shown below.
