I have called this a config script to distinguish it from the python script that the program is written in.
It is an XML file with the following tags:
BAG
This is the overall tag that encloses the whole program.
<BAG> version
Constants
label for whole config:
<Label>
entry for each user parameter:
<UserPara> Name,Value,Index
Each user parameter has a name and value. index values for file are generated automatically.
Coordinates
These tags defines a coordinate grid and camera information
<Coords> min,max,zero,line
<Offset> x,y,z
<CamPos> x,y,z
<CamDir> x,y,z
Parameters
These are global parameters that apply to all surfaces
<Reference>
<complex> in,out
- in = binary -> enable complex is input
- out = binary -> enable complex is output
<ParU> Min,Max
<ParV> Min,Max
Surface
Each surface has a surface definition.
<Surface> m1,m2,m3,m4
<fn1>
<fn2>
<fn3>
fn1,fn2 and fn3 are the functions, fn1 being the x value, fn2 being the y value and fn3 being the z value.
m1,m2,m3 and m4 are indexes to the material definitions, m1 & m2 are the materials for real values, m3 and m4 are the materials for imaginary values.
Material
There are as many material definitions as required. They are referenced from the surface tag by the index number, the first one is 4, the next one is 5 and so on (0 to 3 are reserved)
<Material> Wireframe,Smooth,alpha,emit,glow
- Wireframe = boolean
- Smooth = boolean
- alpha = float
- emit = float
- glow = float
<matCol> r,g,b
material colour
- r = red
- g = green
- b = blue
