Sorry math stuff.
X+2R means X + ( 2 x R )
The nice thing about using an equation to map out the numbers is you can move it as needed.

Does anyone know how to add a Compass Rose to the map? I would like to put one over the target area. Thanks for the help. <S> |

You have 2 options that I am aware of. Put it on the map image, ie the DDS file. Or, write dotfile code to do it. |

I never modified a DDS before. I know how to create a DTF file, but not sure how to do a compass rose on it. Does anyone have a cool compass rose I can use or an example how to do it in a DTF file? |

Here's a simple one that you can put a formula to. .mapcolor {red} {green} {blue} 255 .mapcircle {X} {Y} {R} .mapline {X} {Y-2R} {X} {Y+2R} .mapline {X-2R} {Y} {X+2R} {Y} .mapline {X-R} {Y-R} {X+R} {Y+R} .mapline {X+R} {Y-R} {X-R} {Y+R} replace {} with numeric values on .mapcolor use values 0-255 to generate the color you want. 255 0 0 would be red for example Let X, Y be the grid location of your target. Go offline and note the location in the HUD. R is the radius of the compass rose circle. 20 miles would be a value of R=105600 |

Here's what I did with no results. I use F199 and my test field. .mapcolor @green@ .mapcircle {113388} {761254} {105600} .mapline {113388} {761254-2105600} {113388} {761254+2105600} .mapline {113388-2105600} {761254} {113388+2105600} {761254} .mapline {113388-105600} {761254-105600} {113388+105600} {761254+105600} .mapline {113388+105600} {761254-105600} {113388-105600} {761254+105600} |

Take the brackets out Hawk and put the total values in for your math functions. |

I get the cir and some lines, but not sure about the "2R" call. I have some weird lines showing up. .mapline {X} {Y-2R} {X} {Y+2R} .mapline 113388 761254-2105600 113388 761254+2105600 .mapcolor @green@ .mapcircle 113388 761254 105600 .mapline 113388 761254-2105600 113388 761254+2105600 .mapline 113388-2105600 761254 113388+2105600 761254 .mapline 113388-105600 761254-105600 113388+105600 761254+105600 .mapline 113388+105600 761254-105600 113388-105600 761254+105600 |

I edited my post later, sorry its not easy to set up a math function typing on a phone. Map lines need two coordinates to draw. Point A(Xa,Ya) and Point B(Xb,Yb) So the command is looking for 4 numbers, not functions The end result should be. .mapline Xa Ya Xb Yb You know this from other dtfs, all phenix was giving you were functions to plug into excel/calculator, whatever to give you a number to put in for the coordinate values based on your origin to pump out a neat, accurate compass. |
