How detail points and reference points are separated?

Zoltan Siki edited this page Nov 30, 2020 · 3 revisions

GeoEasy separates detail points by three conditions:

  • it cannot be a station
  • there is only one polar observation to this point (mean direction, slope distance and zenith angle or mean direction an horizontal direction)
  • point ID match to the detailreg regular expression (it is given in the geo_easy.msk file and can be changed by a text editor)

The default value for the regular expression is:

set detailreg {^[0-9]+([-/]?([a-zA-Z]|[0-9])+)?$}

  • at the beginning there must be one or more figures ^[0-9]+
  • optionally a slash or dash follows [-/]?
  • optionally a serie of figures and letters at the end ([a-zA-Z]|[0-9])+)?$

Examples of point IDs that match the regexp above:

  • 123
  • 37c
  • 12/a
  • 54/a1
  • 675-1
  • 870-a1

Examples of point IDs that don't match the regexp:

12/ 54- A23 12.4

You can customize detailreg variable if you are familiar with regexp.

This separation of points become interesting when you calculate orientation, network adjustment or detail points. If your point naming system does not follow that we use in Geoeasy, you can turn off hiding detail points from the point list in case of orientation and adjustment using the Other parameters dialog (Use detail points in orientation and adjustment):
