Contact Thermal Plot Item
Description
Thermal contacts are rendered as disks (3D only), cylinders, spheres, or arrows and are colored by attributes or properties.
This plot item is controlled identically to the Contacts plot item; the difference between them is the set of options available on the Color By attribute, which are enumerated below.

Color By
![../../../../../../../../../../_images/colorby.png](../../../../../../../../../../_images/colorby.png)
Specify what aspect of the item is to be rendered, from one of three mutually exclusive groups (only one selection from any group is active at one time): text values, numeric values, and vector quantities. If a Vector Qty is chosen, an additional field is added to specify whether a component (\(x\), \(y\), or \(z\)) or the magnitude (mag) of the vector should be rendered.
Selecting -->Add Prop at the bottom of a selector will provide a dialog that allows the user to specify a new property to add to the list (and make it the active color by selection).
The labels ATTRIBUTE and PROPERTY on a selector do nothing; these are provided to visually differentiate the two groups.
