- % File grid.dat
- % grid.dat formatted data file for az_proj v1.04
- % (C) Joseph Mack (C) 1996
- %
- % You need AZ_PROJ v1.04, or later, to run a this file
- % The format here is the "grid2" format of v1.03
- % The "grid" format of v1.00 is no longer used
- %
- % contains grids worked (4 character notation) by freq and propagation mode.
- % grid squares go from AA00 to RR99.
- % the "grid2" format of AZ_PROJv1.02 is designed
- % to supercede the "grid" format of v1.0
- %
- % The band to be displayed is selected in
- % the array "/bands_plotted" in az_ini.ps
- % the grid worked will be colored/marked according to the propagation mode used.
- % the propagation modes are primarily of interest to VHF'ers
- % The equivelent type of file for HF'ers would be the dxcc.dat file
- % where contacts with dxcc countries are plotted by band and mode (CW, ssb...)
- %
- % Note about data_modifiers
- % From v1.04 onwards, data_modifiers can be used to modify grid: and qso: lines
- % (data_modifiers are allowed on all lines but will be ignored on all other data types).
- % The purposed of this is to allow worked grid squares (or qso's)
- % of several different appearances on the same page.
- % Thus it is possible to mark the grid squares (or qso's) from
- % one station differently than squares worked from other station(s).
- % In earlier verions of AZ_PROJ it was possible to have two alternate
- % markings by using a grid: or a GRID: data type (giving two types
- % of marked grid squares). This was not a particularly extensible
- % scheme and and the data type (grid: or GRID:) gives no indication
- % of the appearance of the square.
- %
- % A normal worked grid square line starts
- % grid:
- % and gives a square filled with the color /worked_grid_square_color
- % (set in az_ini.ps, currently set to verylightblue)
- %
- % data_modifiers which fill grid squares
- % Note these colors fill the square and will obliterate a previously
- % drawn square (in the same place) worked by someone else.
- % Any previously drawn features will also be obliterated.
- % Thus grid squares drawn with these data_modifiers will
- % have to be read in before the .wdb files.
- %
- % grid-red: grid is filled with the color /grid-red_color
- % grid-green: grid is filled with the color /grid-green_color
- % grid-blue: grid is filled with the color /grid-blue_color
- %
- %
- % data_modifiers which do not fill grid squares.
- % These are all B&W (could be changed of course in az_ini.ps)
- % and hence are suitable for B&W printers.
- %
- % These data_modifiers draw sets of lines in the worked grid square.
- % Lines do not obliterate previous markings on the map (well you
- % can read between the lines).
- % Grid squares drawn with these data_modifiers can be read in
- % after the .wdb files.
- % The spacing of the lines is adjusted to give about the same
- % density of lines, no matter the shape of the box (aspect
- % varies from equator to poles) or the scale
- % It is possible to mark a particular square as being worked
- % by two different people.
- %
- % This pair allow marking by two different orthogonal sets of lines
- % grid-lon: grid is crossed with lines parallel to the longitude lines
- % grid-lat: grid is crossed with lines parallel to the latitude lines
- % Note in the azimuthal equidistant projection, the lat lines are
- % not parallel and the lon lines are not parallel. Thus two well
- % separated grid squares both marked by e.g -lon (or instead by -lat)
- % will not neccessarily be seen by the eye to be related.
- %
- % Another orthogonal pair (also see comments for grid-lon and grid-lat)
- % grid-left: grid is crossed by lines running NW to SE (i.e. lines leaning left)
- % grid-right: grid is crossed by lines running NE to SW (i.e. lines leaning right)
- %
- % Another orthogonal pair
- % grid-horz: grid is crossed by lines running horizontally in page space
- % grid-vert: grid is crossed by lines running vertically in page space
- % Note well separated grid squares with these data_modifiers will have
- % parallel lines and will appear to the eye to be related.
- %
- % An now for something completely different
- % grid-*: grid is crossed by lines radiating from the QTH
- % (ie the point at the center of the projection).
- % Note, at a distance of about more than 4 grid squares from the QTH
- % all lines within a worked grid appear parallel.
- % If many squares are worked by one station, then the
- % markings in all worked grid squares will radiate from one point.
- % Note this routine is very slow compared to the other methods of marking grid squares
- % It has to calculate radial lines for the whole page.
- %
- %
- % a typical grid.dat line is
- % grid-modifier:50:F2:FM19:comment field
- % where -
- % grid: symbol to show that following data is a worked grid
- % modifier: see above explanation
- % 50: band the grid was worked on
- % F2: propagation mode, F2, Es, EME, Au, Ms, TEP, or unknown ()
- % FM19 grid worked
- % comment field of anything at all (ignored for plotting)
- %
- % Ms and Au occupy the same space and an Es contact will overwrite an Au contact.
- % The reverse is not true. The Au symbol does not overwrite the Es color patch.
- % For any grid, list the Au contact after the Es contact.
- % White space is not allowed in the active fields.
- %
- % To show this file, set the center to ARRL HQ, scale to 100km/cm and run
- % gs -q az_ini.ps -- az_proj.ps grid.dat
