                    Nodal Results Line Displays
                        [incomplete list]
    (the command to produce *.ps files are now commented out)
-------------------------------------------------------------------

deformed_mesh_plot.m: For 2-D stress analysis results deformed_mesh_plot
  (d_scale, inc_m, inc_e, inc_p) will plot the deformed mesh obtained by
  adding the displacement components multiplied by the value of d_scale.
  If inc_m = 1 the original un-deformed mesh is also displayed, else it
  is omitted. Output is deformed_mesh_plot.ps.

node_graph_result.m: node_graph_result (i_p, start, stop, inc) shows
  the results for component i_p along the path of nodes defined by
  "start, stop, inc" as a 3D curve above the full mesh. The required 
  files are msh_bc_xyz.tmp, msh_typ_nodes.tmp, and node_results.tmp. 
  Output is node_result_#_graph.ps. If i_p = 0 the RMS value is used.

result_graph.m: result_graph (i_p) displays a line graph of the 
  magnitude of the i_p-th component at all nodes in the 1D mesh.  
  If i_p = 0, or no argument is used then the RMS value is plotted.
  The required files are msh_bc_xyz.tmp, msh_typ_nodes.tmp, and 
  node_results.tmp. Output is result_graph.ps and it contains an 
  'x' and 'n' to denote the maximum and minimum value locations.
  Node and element numbers are also shown along the bottom axis.

result_node_range_graph.m: result_node_range_graph (i_p, start, stop,
  inc, mesh) is the same as node_graph_result.m except mesh = 0, or
  omitted turns off the mesh. Output is result_#_node_range_graph.ps.

result_3d_graph.m: result_3d_graph (i_p, mesh) is similar in concept
  to result_surface_plot.m but is intended for line elements located 
  in 2D space, such as trusses and frames.  It displays a line 
  graph of the magnitude of the i_p-th component "above" all nodes
  in the line element mesh.  If mesh = 1, the line elements are also 
  shown (in green) in the z_min plane.  If i_p = 0, or is omitted  
  then the RMS value is plotted. Required files are msh_bc_xyz.tmp,
  msh_typ_nodes.tmp, and node_results.tmp. Output: result_3d_graph.ps. 
  Node numbers are also shown at "value points" to clarify their 
  source.  Views from the X- and Y-axes also help see the nodal 
  values more clearly. It is NOT useful for a mesh containing a
  large number of elements.

result_surface_plot.m: result_surface_plot (i_p) displays a carpet,
  or surface, plot of the magnitude of the i_p-th component at all
  nodes in the mesh.  If i_p = 0, or no argument is used then the 
  RMS value is plotted.  The required files are msh_bc_xyz.tmp, 
  msh_typ_nodes.tmp, and node_results.tmp.  The output file is 
  result_surface_plot.ps and it contains an 'x' and 'n' to denote 
  the maximum and minimum value locations.  Often the view 
  orientation needs to be changed. Then issue the Matlab command
  view (az, el) or view ([x, y, z]) to set the [x, y, z] eye point.

result_shrink_surface.m: result_shrink_surface (i_p) is like the 
  above result_surface_plot except that the elements are shrunk
  with gaps between them to make them more clear.  Symbols show the
  true node locations.  Output is result_shrink_surface.ps
