P-points may be displayed in PARAGON in one of two ways. The form of display is controlled by the REPRESENTATION PPOINTS command.

Specifying P-points On or Off

The size of the arrow may also be controlled by the REPRESENTATION PPOINTS command. The overall length of the arrow is specified in millimeters. The default length is 50mm. Specifying a length of zero causes the P-point to appear as a dot.

Specifying P-point Length

The P-point numbers may be omitted, or they may be displayed any size, the size being specified in millimeters. The default size is 5 mm. The size of the numbers is controlled by the REPRESENTATION PPOINTS command.

Specifying P-point Number Representation

Both LENGTH and NUMBERS may be set in the same command, for example:

REPRESENTATION PPOINTS ON LENGTH 25 NUMBERS ON SIZE 7

Note: P-points are always displayed in some form. They cannot be omitted from the display completely.

See Reference Section at the end of this chapter for the full syntax of the REPRESENTATION PPOINTS command.
