              TechnoPoints V1.0 - Set of points => Mesh in DXF 
             ͼ


1. Presentation
===============

       TechnoPoints  is  a very powerful tool for generate continue surface
   that   fit  a  disperse  set  of  points  give  it  without  rules.  The
   mathematics required is invented by me.

       I  try  to  make  usage  very simple and don't destroy the power and
   generality  of  algorithms.  My  intention  is to make a small & generic
   program  that  help  you in construction, GPS, architectural, mechanical
   and all other places that required a surface that throw a


2. Features
===========

   - is possible to input points & polylines 3d (only lines);
   - adjust the influence of each points or polylines;
   - automatic calculate bounds and interesting curbs;
   - optimize mesh and purge irrelevant curves;
   - change rigidity of surface;
   - automatic calculate and draw on different layers, if you want, of
     axis, bounds, grid, input and required points;
   - perform calculus of some very important coefficients like:
     - surface 3D, surface 2D, center of surface;
     - volume (calculate from Z=0), center of volume;
     - boundary box;
     - other requested points;


3. Usage
========

       Usage  is  very  easy:  what  you  only  have  to  do  is to put all
   components in a directory ( folder :) put this directory in Path and now
   you can start to use TechnoPoints (TP).

       TP required for good functionality all the files from directory then
   don't delete them.

       Usage is very simple: TP name.PNT

       After  runing  the  program creates automat three files Template.PNT
   (is  a  standard input file, fully documented), Name.DXF, Name.PNX (file
   with some useful reports).

   In Name.DXF layers are:
   - 1 Axis;
   - 2 Border;
   - 3 Grid;
   - 4 Active points;
   - 5 Requested point (eventualy);
   - 0 Mesh;

       In VD (ViewDXF) you can toggle layers by pressing L + nr !!!

       The  PNT  file  used  for Input have a very simple sintax. All lines
   starts with an reserved sign: #, $, !, ?:
      - # are coments;
      - $ variable settings;
      - ! data input;
      - ? data output(eventualy);

       I  think  the sintax is very simple and don't required supplimentary
   documentation. Try to create your own PNT Files copying Template.PNT.


       In directory DEMOTPNT have some demos in DXF & PNT format please run
   PNT  files  read  PNT, PNX and view DXF file, try to compare results for
   varying the diferent parameters.


   All suggestion and comments are welcomed !

   If create some suggestive PNT files send me !
