CREATE/MODIFY POINTS FILE
Using the command Create/Modify of Points menù is gained the access to the windows
enabled to operate on Files of Points.
It is possible to "Open" an existing File or create a new using the command “New” or “Y=FUN(X)"
Enable the Operator to insert a mathematics function to generate the points sequence.
When a File is loaded or created as new, the coordinates are graphically presented, it is possible
to modify the values acting on the commands appearing at the left of the window.
It is also possible to manually modify each single value of X and Y by double-clicking in the table
box containing the coordinates of the points (yellow), or by double-clicking in the graph
corresponding to the point to be modified; the cursor will automatically position itself in the table
on the corresponding line.
Load Cartesian Points
Load a text file (.txt) containing the Cartesian coordinates of the points.
In the first line of the file there must be written the string "X Y" separated by a space or a TAB
and then the pairs of Cartesian coordinates separated by a space or a TAB.
Example:
X Y
45.500000 0.000000
45.497116 0.505351
Load Polar Points
Load a text file (.txt) containing the Polar coordinates of the points.
In the first line of the file you can specify the value of the Initial Radius ("R=" <>0) and then the
pairs of Polar Coordinates (Angle and Distance from the center) separated by a space or a TAB.
Example:
R=38.5
0 0
1.5 0.001598
3 0.006393
