Purpose

To set a Point to an alternative type or to assign an Angle.

Syntax

SET < /NUMBER $S > ( KNUCKLE )
  ( POINT )
  ( TANGENT )
----------------------------------
     < /NUMBER $N > ( ANGLE ) ( /LOWER= $N   )
                     ( /UPPER= $N   )
                     ( $N < $N > )
                     -----------------
                     ( RESET ) < /LOWER >
             < /UPPER >

Description

This command allows the user to the set point type of any point in the current curve. After issuing the command the graphics cursor is used to indicate the point required. Positioning of the cursor need only be approximate as the nearest point is used.

For Knuckle and Tangent points the user can also assign an ANGLE to that point. When a curve is fitted with these ANGLE POINTS set the fitting algorithm will ensure that curve passes through these points with the specified angle. Knuckle points can have both a LOWER and UPPER angle whereas Tangents have only one angle. the angle can be removed from a point by using the OFF or RESET option, these have an identical function with OFF being the preferred syntax. The /NUMBER option allows the user to identify the point by its index rather that using the cursor.

Examples

SET KNU
SET ANGLE 45
SET ANGLE /UPPER 30
SET ANGLE 0 90
SET /NUM 5 POINT
SET /NUM 25 ANGLE 90 170
