I'm working with a frequency domain field monitor in Lumerical and trying to visualize the field intensity for specific wavelengths. I want to see how the field looks inside the structure, similar to how the movie monitor shows data with the structure outline superimposed.My questions are:

1. Is it possible to impose the structure outline on the field intensity plot using only Python script, without relying on the GUI?
2. Can I access all the settings available in the Visualizer (such as 'contour') programmatically via Python code?
3. If it's possible, what's the best approach to achieve this? Are there specific API functions or methods I should be using?

I'm looking for a solution that allows me to automate this process entirely through scripting. Any code examples or pointers to relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated.

Here is an example where it is done using GUI : https://youtu.be/m-sN0mUzWq8, can I do the same with code? I could not finde any commands for it.

Currently, only Visualizer can directly impose the structure outline to the field intensity and Visualzier is manually operational tool.  no script or API is available to directly manipulate the Visualizer. Alternatively you may use some alternative method, such as this one  https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034395154-Tip-for-adding-structure-outlines-to-field-plots It is not perfect though.

eg, script-access to visualizer, and impose structure on the intensity profile.
