Figure 5.16 Example: Pick and Place Panel for Arc Ring Window

The arc ring window

Pick & Place

panel contains the following data display

fields and buttons:

X Cen; Y Cen –– These two fields display, respectively, the current X
and Y coordinates of the center of the arc ring window.

O Rad –– This field displays the radius of the outer ring, in pixels.

I Rad –– This field displays the radius of the inner ring, in pixels.

Theta –– This field displays the current location, in radians, of the “head”
of the arc ring, with respect to the X–axis 0

° point. The radian value

increases clockwise from that point.

Radians –– This field displays the current arc ring size in radians.

Arrow buttons,

↑, ↓, ←, and → –– When you pick an arrow button, by

default the entire arc ring window moves one pixel in the direction of the
corresponding arrow. If, however, you have just picked and placed one
side of the inner or outer ring, the arrow buttons will affect that part of the
window only.

Done –– When you have set the window position and size as required for
the application, pick the

button to exit the pick and place function

and return to the tool edit panel.
