Points and Lines displays are the surface type of displays and present the results for current level. A particular field component is presented as a quasi-three-dimensional (2D Surface) plot of a function of two space variables.

Points display is fastest and recommended for small window display.

Points display can be invoked with  button in 2D Surface tab,  command under  button in Display tab or Type->Surface->Points command from main menu, context menu or display dedicated colour bar context menu.

Lines display presents all cells as squares, thus distorting the dimensions but gaining speed.

Lines display can be invoked with  button in 2D Surface tab,  command under  button in Display tab or Type->Surface->Lines command from main menu, context menu or display dedicated colour bar context menu.

The curent level can be changed using ,  or  buttons in 2D Surface tab or using Layer->Increase, Layer->Decrease or Layer->Go to… commands from main menu or context menu.

The plane can be changed using ,  or  buttons in 2D Surface or Display tabs or using Plane->XY, Plane->XZ or Plane->YZ commands from main menu or context menu.

The displayed fields can be amplified, adjusted or attenuated using ,  or  buttons in 2D Surface tab or using Magnitude->Amplify, Magnitude->Adjust or Magnitude->Attenuate commands from main menu or context menu.

The displayed fields can be limited to sub-volume in the Volume Limit dialogue using  button in Display tab or Switch->Volume Limit… command from main menu or context menu.

The display options for Lines and Points displays can be changed in the 2D Surface Display Options dialogue invoked using  button in 2D Surface tab or Preferences… command from main menu or context menu.
