- 5.3.2 CHANGE STRING
-
-
- The CHANGE STRING command is used to alter the shape of a string entity.
-
-
- COMMAND FORMAT
-
- #CHANGE STRING :Ent x1 :Loc x2 x3 ... xm xn [:Ent ... ]
-
- The string to be changed is identified by 'x1'. The new shape of the string
- is defined by the locations 'x2' through to 'xn'.
-
- The location 'x2' is projected onto the nearest segment of the identified
- string. All of the vertices from the start of the string up to and including
- this point define the first section of the new string. The last part of the
- string is made of all of the vertices of the string starting from the point
- where 'xn' projects onto the string up to and including the end of the
- string. The mid section of the string defined by locations 'x3' to 'xm' join
- the first and last section of the string together to form the new shape.
- ( See fig. 5.13 and 5.14 ).
