idea for tvmark

Jason Quinn wrote on Aug 05, 2008

I have idea that would be very handy... it would be great if tvmark had parameters for which columns to use for the x and y coordinates as well as the optional label. I have my own little script I've been using for a while to do this but tvmark itself seems like it could easily be extended.

Why? There are many reasons. If you have a transformation file of control points. You don't need anything fancy to check to make sure you matched up the points right. I frequently get text files with the IDS in the first column with X and Y in the 2nd and 3rd., etc.

Hi Jason,

Maybe your script already does this, but you can do this with a one-line command such as

cl> fields coords.txt "5,6,1" | tvmark (frame=1,coords="STDIN")


Likewise, something like TPRINT can be used to select columns from a more strucutred table.

Cheers,
