This type of curve statement is used when a curve shall be parallel to another curve. There are two ways this can be done; as a displacement or as a transformation.
Syntax
|
CURVE, <name> [,LTY=<line_type>] [,COL=<color>] ,PAR = <curve_name> { ,M1=<displacement> ,<point1> ,<point2>}; |
Description
|
LTY |
Line type of the curve. |
|
COL |
Color of the curve. |
|
PAR |
The name of the curve from were the new curve is moved. |
|
M1 |
The displacement from the original curve. M1 > 0 means displacement to the right, < 0 to the left. |
|
<displacement>::=<number> |
|
|
<point1> |
A point on the original curve. |
|
<point2> |
The point to where the point above will be transformed together with the rest of the curve. |
|
Example: |
|
|
CUR, 'CURVE', COL=CYAN, LTY=Solid, PAR='C1', U1=P1, V1=P1, U2=P2, V2=P2; |
|
|
CUR, 'CURVE', PAR='C1', M1=200; |
