gp.name
Syntax
- s := gp.name(gp)
- gp.name(gp) := s
Get/set a name associated with a specific grid point.
If a unique name has not been explicitly assigned then the returned value will be the grid point id number in string form.
A grid point may have a unique name associated with it to identify it later. The
zone create
andzone create2d
commands, for example, can use these names to identify grid points to use as vertices of primitives.If a grid point has already been assigned the name then that name will be removed and the new grid point will be uniquely associated with the name.
Note that the grid point name system was designed under the assumption that only a relatively small number of grid points will be assigned names. Assigning all grid points an explicit name will not be efficient either in memory or lookup time.
