QUOTE: Originally posted by lionelsoni Daan, my program is very specialized for designing the layout in my own weird way. The layout description is actually the program itself, in the form of subroutine calls that insert tangents, curves, switches, table sections, etc., into the design. The program calculates the track location as it goes. I like to work out the track geometry analytically and then specify the building blocks to the program, which effectively checks my work by confirming, to the picometer, that the track went where I wanted.
QUOTE: Originally posted by lionelsoni Jdoll, I have nothing I can get to you quickly. I designed and maintain my layout with a Q-Basic program that draws a map on an old 486 computer. But I have no way to print the picture out or make a file. Your request however has inspired me to augment my program to write a bit-map file. I'll let you know when it's done.
