Linearization.. was Profiles for Moab Kayenta

2005-10-13 by Tom Husband

Thanks Tom.

After one enters the values and linearizes should the
density values have changed in the linearization tab? 
I don't believe the curves I've created had different
values after linearization.

By linearize I presume you mean use the Create Curve button. That just
translates your curve specification (the .qidf file) into the form needed by
QTR for printing an image (the .quad file). The specification (.qidf) is
only changed by you, so there should be no changes in the Linearization tab.
However, what will change are the values in the .quad file.

The .qidf file is like the "source code" for your curve. The .quad file is
the "executable" version of the curve. If you're not familiar with computer
programming the analogy may be meaningless. In that case, sorry.

Yes, I meant the Create Curve button.  I think I
understand you explanation.  Thanks Tom.
