Inserts one or more plotted section details on one or more sheets.

pyplot.insert_section(sheet, section [, options])

Parameter	Type	Description
sheet	element_handle or { element_handle* }	Element handle to one or more plot sheets
section	element_handle	A section handle created with pytha.create_section
options	table (optional)	Placement and appearance options

Return value

Type	Description
{ element_handle* }	A table containing the created detail handles

options table

Property	Type	Description
position	{number, number}	Section detail center on the sheet
size	{number, number}	Requested section detail size on the sheet
angle	number	Rotation angle of the plotted section on the sheet
scale	number	Explicit plot scale
layer_visible	table	Table mapping layer numbers to true or false
graphic_flags	{ string* }	Display flags such as "edges", "solid", "hidden_edges", "hatching", "hatching_islands", "shaded", "material", "shadow"

Example:

local plotted = pyplot.insert_section(sheet, section, {
    position = {120, 90},
    size = {140, 80},
    graphic_flags = {"edges", "shaded"}
})

Remarks:

The function creates one plotted section detail on each target sheet.

If scale is omitted, a fitting scale is computed from the section bounding box and the requested size.

If no explicit graphic_flags are given, a default combination of edges, shaded and solid display is used.

The return value is a table containing the created plot detail handles.
