Name search control file

The name search control file contains a list of place names and their coordinates.

There are two formats:

x1 y1 x2 y2 name

or

name x1 y1 x2 y2

in which

x1, y1 : bottom corner coordinate

x2, y2 : top corner coordinate

name : area’s name, max. 80 characters.

In the second alternative 25 characters are reserved for the name. Both formats can be mixed in the same file. If x2 and y2 are missing, x1 and y1 define the area’s center point and the size of the area is taken as dx = dy = 100m. The size of the area can be changed by giving the line #DXY dx dy in the file.

You can define the format by #FORMAT 3, which will use Stella-format.

street number x1 y1

where

street : street name

number : street address number

x1, y1 : street address coordinates

Street name can have 33 characters whilst the rest of the line is read using free format. You can also use Special settings to define control file format.

#MAP-line you can define a 3D-type file having border lines for the areas. There should be one line for every area. Area name (same as in the selection list) is given either in T2-fiedl (if 8 characters is enough) or as line attribute. The attribute name is defined on #MAP-line.

#MAP file, name

where

file : 3D-type file name

name : attribute name. If missing, T2-field is used.

If #MAP-lien is not defined, a default name will be created by changing extension xy.tdw to the control file. If the file exists and if the T2-field is not empty, it will be used as the area name. Otherwise the first attribute of the line is used.

Use line #FONT code if you want to define special font for the text. This way you can define color, size and typeface in code file’s font list.

#FONT code, alignment

where

code : font code in code file

alignment : text alignment according to the point
