The Phase Diagram Manipulate and Refresh Window was first introduced in FactSage 7.2,
enhanced in FactSage 7.3 and again in FactSage 8.0.
It has become a popular app that offers a variety of editing and plotting options
depending upon the type of calculated phase diagram.
It is displayed right after the phase diagram has been calculated.
The screenshot shows how to activate the Manipulate and Refresh Window via the Parameters Window
('Phase Diagram > Menu Window > Parameters')
In FactSage 8.0 the Manipulate and Refresh Window has been restructered and new options added.
In addition to the General options that apply to all diagrams,
there are now 5 categories for manipulating the calculated phase diagram:
For example, only one of 'tie lines - isothermal diagram', 'polythermal projection' or 'aqueous diagram'
could be displayed at any given time.
The values are specified in the text box.
hi med low - sets tie line densities (low, medium or high).
- 'color' plots in color or B/W.
- 'T-bar' displays the temperature bar.
The colors correspond to the iso-thermal sections.
- 'by phase' - the colors correspond to a particular phase (and not an iso-therm).
'Manipulate and Refresh Window' - options 'labels', 'equilibria' and 'iso-activity'
Phase Diagram Manipulate and Refresh Window
The screenshot shows all 5 categories but in actual calculations only 'phases and labels'
is displayed together with the other pertinent option.
This option applies to all phase diagrams.
This option applies to all phase diagrams.
This option applies to all phase diagrams.
The date is posted in the bottom right corner.
This option applies to all phase diagrams.
The time is posted in the bottom right corner.
These options apply to the labels added manually - e.g. by pointing and clicking.
This option is limited to binary T vs X diagrams.
This option is limited to binary T vs X diagrams and polythermal projections.
When loading a previously stored system, you can show the figure calculated last time.
The program displays the calculated phase diagram including any labels that have been added manually.
These labels are now stored in memory.
If you return to the Menu Window, make changes to the phase selections, axes limits, etc. and recalculate the diagram,
the new figure will not have any labels.
By clicking labels - old the labels that were stored in memory are posted.
The label is selected from the combo box.
These options only apply to ternary or reciprocal isothermal section.
This option requires an 'iso-activity species' (i.e. option Z) to be specified in the Selection Window before the diagram is calculated.
These options only apply to a ternary or reciprocal isothermal section.
Note: - for some domains the tie lines will be missing.
In such a case select a 'single domain' (see next).
Simply point and click on the domain.
These options only apply to polythermal projections.
- 'T units' of K or oC.
The temperature labels (together with the optional units K or oC) are aligned with the isothermal lines and displaced slightly to improve readabilty.
The step in T is defined in the text box.
These options only apply to aqueous diagrams.
The resulting diagram is a true Eh-pH phase diagram.
