Overview

This module provides the ability to create and initialize a new model file (file 13 or file 15).

Examples

The following snippet illustrates how to create a 3-D Block Model. In this example, the model file created would be named "test15.dat".

Functions

createModel(pcfPath, itemInfo, fileType, extension)

Creates a new model file given the PCF, a list of item information, the file type, and the file extension. Returns the filename of the newly created model (uses the prefix of the pcfPath).

Arguments:

pcfPath : string

The path to the PCF file which the block model will be associated with.

itemInfo : list

A list of tuples representing the custom items to be added to the model: (name, min, max, precision)

fileType : integer

Must be either 15 (for a 3-D Block Model) or 13 (for a 2-D Surface file)

extension : string

A three-character string which will become the file extension of the new model file (i.e. "dat")
