CoordSys

   

The Project CoordSys is used to enable multiple coordinate systems in the Scene Tree. These coordinate systems are independent to each other and independent to the global coordinate system, configured in the trans menu. The coordinate systems in the scene tree can be saved and loaded using the in the manag menu. The project will add a coordsys at the current scene tree position and add one button to the first option menu.

This button is used to open the configuration layer for the specific coordinate system. The first coordinate system found in the scene tree is used.

The Configuration layer of the coordinate system allows various options to configure the coordinate system for your application. Some interactives are the same for all three directions and are describted only one time.

 

Configure the coordinate system as a default three axis coordinate sytem.

Configure the coordinate system as a default 12 axis coordinate system.

,

Set the minimum and maximum values in the specific direction. The coordinate systems axis will last from the minimum to the maximum value in that direction.

How many mark should be set at the axis in the desired direction. If a mark is near a crossing of two axises the mark will be suppressed, but if the value of this mark was visible it will be replaced by the crossing value.

The name of the axis, which is printed on top of the axis. The lable will only be show together with the arrow at the end of the axis.

Open the special configuration layer for the desired direction. This layer includes the following configuration options:

Enable or disable the different coordinate axis. For each direction five axis are possible. Four at the position of the minimum and maximum values in the orthogonal directions. One variable axis anywhere betweeen these values or even outside.

Enable or disable the marks at the five axis. The axis obviously must be enabled.

Enable or disable the value printing at some marks and label output at the top of the axis. The values are only printe if the marks are enable at the specific axis. The same with the label itself and the arrow.

Enable or Disable the arrow at the top of the axis. If the maximum value is lower than the minimum value the arrow will be printed at the bottom, but will always direct in the maximum direction.

, ,

Translate the value text orthogonal to the axis.

Which of the marks counted from minimum to maximum value should be the first one with a value given.

How many marks should be skipped while printing values.

Print format for the value output. Do not include a or a similar format in this field, because this migh crash your program.

Close the expert config layer.

Secify the radius relativ to the axis length of the longest axis.

Specify the radius of the marks relativ to the radius of the axis.

The radius of the Arrows relativ to the radius of the axis.

How much space should be left between the end of the axis and the beginning of the arrow.

, ,

The relativ or absolute position of the variable coordinate axis in the specific direction. If any of these values should be an absolute value the button in that direction should be enabled.

Number of patches for the axis in rotation direction. Increase this value if the axis is not smooth enough.

Using this option the end of the axis is rounded instead of cutted of. Especially a boundary coordinate system will look much better if you enable this option.
