Mesh2Surf.inc/DrawFuzzySurface () [ Helper macros ]

[ Top ] [ Mesh2Surf.inc ] [ Helper macros ]

PURPOSE

Draws surface representation in the form of smooth mesh of triangles

SYNOPSIS

DrawSurface(string filename DataFileName)

INPUTS

  DataFileName - valid name of file with data - see example file for details
  of its structure. Generally speaking first is Xaxis title, Yaxis title,
  number of columns, then min and max value assigned to the items in first and last X column respectively (along POVRay X axis),
  umber of rows, then min and max value assigned to the items in first and last row respectively (along POVRay -Z axis),
  eventually numeric data in form of matrix, ie. data measured, observed or
  calculated over the real XY grid

Mesh2Surf.inc/Set_TextFont, _TextFont [ Helper macros ]

[ Top ] [ Mesh2Surf.inc ] [ Helper macros ]

PURPOSE

Defines font for textual elements of the chart 

    WARNING: Font must exist in the host operating system
    default setting "Arial.ttf" should be safe on Windows, as well as on some GNU/Linux distros

SYNOPSIS

#declare _TextFont = "Arial.ttf"; // "arialuni.ttf" is not safe as this font not always exist in the system
#macro Set_TextFont (_TxtFnt)

INPUTS

  _TxtFnt - string containing name of the file containing given font, ex. "Arial.ttf". Sets internal local variable _TextFont

SEE ALSO

Set_TFont ()

Mesh2Surf.inc/DeclareLevel [ Variables ]

[ Top ] [ Mesh2Surf.inc ] [ Variables ]

PURPOSE

DeclareLevel determines what is defined:

this value is valid until next "Set...()" declaration is met.
