Interface Function

getHoleName(HoleNo):

The function returns the name of the hole from the list of holes.

Input Parameters:

HoleNo

integer

Index to hole list.

Returned value:

HoleList[HoleNo]

string

Hole name.

getHoleSegment(SegNo):

The function returns a hole segment from the hole contour.

Input Parameters:

Segno

integer

Hole segment number.

Returned value:

HoleData[SegNo]

reals

Segment part R,U,V.

setHoleContour(HoleName, NPar, Par1, Par2, Par3, Par4, Par5, Par6, Par7, Par8):

The function creates a customer defined hole by creating hole segments to the HoleData list. The function should define a hole contour in the UV co-ordinate system whose origin will be the reference point of the hole. Up to 8 number of hole parameters are allowed. The breakpoints of the hole contour should be defined as a number of segments (R, U, V), where R is equal to 0.0 for a line segment, positive for a counterclock radius and negative for a clockwise radius. The hole code should be implemented with an exception handling mechanism so that a failure to run the code will always be signalled by the return code.

Input Parameters:

Holename

string

The name of the customer hole.

Npar

real

Number of parameters.

Par1

real

Hole parameter 1.

Par2

real

Hole parameter 2.

Par3

real

Hole parameter 3.

Par4

real

Hole parameter 4.

Par5

real

Hole parameter 5.

Par6

real

Hole parameter 6.

Par7

real

Hole parameter 7.

Par8

real

Hole parameter 8.

Returned value:

HoleRes

integer

Result code. The predefined values should be used.
