Setting P-Point Representation

Catalogues and Specifications Reference Manual

Component Design and Representation in PARAGON : Reference Section : Setting P-Point Representation


Keywords:	REPRESENTATION PPOINTS LENGTH NUMBERS
Description:	P-point representation may be set to ON or OFF. The default setting is PPOINTS OFF, although p-points will be shown automatically as part of an identification operation. When p-points are on, they are drawn as small arrows with a cross at the p-point position and with the arrow indicating the p-point direction. The size of the arrow is controlled by the LENGTH option. P-point numbers may also be displayed, as controlled by the NUMBERS option. As with changes to other representation settings, the graphics display is not updated instantly. Items must be removed and re-added to the Draw List before changes to the display of p-points becomes visible.

Examples:


REPR PPOINTS ON	Sets the p-point representation to ON
REPR PPOINTS LENGTH 5	Sets size of p-point arrows
REPR PPOINTS NUMB ON	Shows p-point numbers
