Tecplot Add-on: Code Generator

This user-contributed add-on is unsupported. Please use forums for questions and comments.

(Please let jim know if you have an add-on you'd like to share or link to.)
Tecplot offers an enormous array of style settings. If you are writing an add-on or python automation, you can use the Code Generator to deter­mine the hierarchy of the Style Value you need. These snippets can be cut and pasted. The 2008R2 version will generate python-compatible code for Tecplot "get" functions.
  • Written by: Scott Fowler
  • Compatible with: Tecplot 360/Focus 2008
  • Known Limitations:
    1. The Python style generation is available only in Tecplot 360/Focus 2008 Release 2 (September 2008)
    2. Style generation for string parameters (e.g., time/date values) refers to a memory location, not the actual string value. This is a bug.
    3. ArgList: appendSet, appendSringList do not copy the appended items [bug 9892]
  • Instructions:
    1. Add this line to your tecplot.add file:
      $!LoadAddon "codegenerator"
    2. Start Tecplot. There will be a new menu option under Tools:


      The help page has a lot more detail. However, there are three modes (they're all performing the same function):
      • Toolbox mode - In Tecplot 360/Focus 2008, we added a StyleValue class (see the ADK reference manual) to simplify working with style settings. We recommend using this versus classic mode.


      • Classic mode - generates code using Tecplot's TcUtil layer. These functions are all in C, many available in FORTRAN.


      • Python mode - generates set style functions that are accessible via Python. This mode is supported only for Tecplot 360/Focus 2008 Release 2 (September 2008):
