construct a circle from external hits

[vektor]

Hello everybody!

Is there a way to program pcdmis to get hit data from a txt file
i want to it to count the hits and make a circle from that
the hits in the txt file can range from 4 to 700 hits
can you make a script to do that automatic????

What does your text file look like?

It's a standard text file with x y z coordinates se attached file the length of the ammount of data may change

You would need the IJK (vector) data also.

It might be easier to pass the diameter, location, number of hits desired, and angular sweep of arc, than to pass all of the hits....

I made a little program here but i want it to be more dynamic
i want it to count the amount of pointlines in the text file
can it be done?

the text file don't have vector values

You could loop until EOF and keep track of your iterations.

Will try this! thx

I think you can do it in Datapage, why waste your time with that basic code stuff...

i don't have datapage.
I did a program that can scan a data file and pick the x and y value until EOF
and pcdmis is ploting the points on the screen and i can even get point info from them .
But.. i can't create a circle from them.

Can it be done?

Sorry vektor, that was a stupid joke for Craig. Ignore my comment....

ok!
