  • TFLD

Specify the text box type and inputs for labelling

Input (separated by spaces or tabs):

1st line Type number of the text box (0 = type I, 1 = type II, 2 = type III), number of subsequent lines for type II, width (xdist) and height (ydist) for type III

2nd line (type II only): Description of the data field (TF3A-F)

3rd line:

For text input: xoffset, yoffset, font size, angle, colour number, two-digit flag for font and font style

Possible fonts: Helvetica (1), Roman (2), Courier (3), Symbol (4)

Possible font styles: normal (0), bold (1), italic (2), bold italic (3)

For the symbol font (4), only the normal font style (0) can be selected.

For date input: DATUM, xoffset, yoffset, font size, angle, colour, two-digit flag for font and font style.

When entering a file (with or without path): FILE, xoffset, yoffset, font size, angle, colour, two-digit flag for font and font style.

When entering PLX file: PLX, xoffset, yoffset.

It is not possible to enter a file (with or without path) and PLX file at the same time. The following text field entries in a plogeo batch file (extract):

 

TFLD ## Text box type

1 8 # Text box type II, number of subsequent lines

TF3A # Text box position

2 0.5 0.75 0 1 10 3D flow model # #

TF3E # Text box position

3 0.5 0.5 0 1 10 lower boundaries # #

TF3C # Text box position

DATUM 0 0.3 0.25 0 1 10 # #

TF3F # Text box position

DATEI 1 0.3 0.4 0 5 12 # #

  • KOOR

Definition of the coordinate frame type:

Input:

1st line: Type number 0 or 1

Type = 0 stands for the basic coordinate frame

Type = 1 stands for the topographical coordinate frame

Examples of this can be found in the "Advanced settings". The batch commands HORI, VERT, DATE and NEUE automatically cancel the flag (and activate the default setting Type = 1), so that the batch command KOOR must be placed after these commands and before the first command for plotting a data type!

 

  • MASS

For plotting a scale bar above the title block.

No further input required!

An example of this can be found in the "Advanced settings".

The batch commands HORI, VERT, DATE and NEUE automatically cancel the flag, so that the batch command MASS must be placed after these commands and before the first command for plotting a data type.

 

  • NORD

For plotting a north arrow above the title block.

An example of this can be found in the "Advanced settings". No further entries are required.

The batch commands HORI, VERT, DATE and NEUE automatically cancel the flag, so that the batch command NORD must be placed after these commands and before the first command for plotting a data type.
