Functional Details #!N #!N This module creates a glyph, or representation, 
for each data value in a data field (  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data 
#!EF ). For data that are dependent on positions, a glyph 
is placed at the corresponding position. For data that are dependent 
on connections, a glyph is placed at the center of the 
corresponding connection element. #!N #!N The Glyph module differs from AutoGlyph 
in its interpretation of the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   scale #!EF parameter. With Glyph, 
you can specify a multiplication factor that is applied to each 
data value to obtain the size of the glyph in world 
units. With AutoGlyph, the scaling is relative to the default glyph 
size. #!N #!N To create sphere glyphs with a radius equal 
to the data value, set  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   scale #!EF to 1 and 
both  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   ratio #!EF and  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min #!EF to 0. To 
create arrow glyphs with length equal to the magnitude of the 
data value, set  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   scale #!EF to 1. #!N #!N For 
descriptions of the parameters, see  #!Lautogly,dxall773 h AutoGlyph  #!EL  . #!N #!N Components #!N 
#!N Creates new "positions" and "connections" components. In the case of 
a 3-D glyph, a "normals" component is added for shading purposes. 
All components that match the dependency of the "data" component are 
propagated to the output, all others are not. If the input 
has "binormals" and "tangent" components, they are not propagated to the 
output. #!N #!N Example Visual Programs #!CForestGreen #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18*   #!N
