fov for extrafiles

Bertrand Laville Aug 17, 2005

Hi All,

One more question.
When you select a dataset to toggle, Guide asks you to choose the fov that you want to see the concerned objects.
You must enter a number of degree for the smallest and largest fov. Guide accepts only one number after the decimal point.
This means that the smallest possible field is 0.1 degree, corresponding to the fov of level 11, in the initial (and most logical) scale.
But this way also means that one cannot both keep toogled off any dataset at any level less than level 11, and toggle it only at level 12 and higher.
This of no importance for most of datasets, but may be a bit annoying for ones with very close objects, such as double stars.
Guide has a huge database of double stars, with WDS, CCDM, and TDSC, and you can add a customized WDS list, or any other extrafile, as, for instance SAC's one.
Being fun of double stars, I have all these datasets on my hard disk, and I'd like to toggle them on gradually, as fov decrease. In particular, I would like to be able to display CCDM from level 12, and TDSC from level 13, since lot of theirs couples are very close.
I didn't find in String.dat a line allowing to add a second number after the decimal point, in the fov.
Does anyone know the way to do this modification ?
Thanks.

Bertrand
