cacc_view - Procedure

Sets curve accuracy


Description

Sets the value of the modal curve accuracy parameter used to determine how accurate to display arcs, curves and surfaces. A low value can produce faster repaints but also makes curved graphics rougher since fewer vectors are used for their display.

Syntax

cacc_view(accuracy)

FLOAT

accuracy;

Principal parameters

accuracy

- 0.1 <= accuracy <= 100.0 Default = 1.0

Optional parameters

None.

Comments

Plotting routines also honor the curve accuracy parameter when they create a plotfile but automatically use a value twice as big as the value set for the display. A very low curve accuracy may therefore also produce bad plots.
