Chapter 10. Calculations

All the calculation jobs are managed using dialog windows which are displayed after selecting the pertinent job in the menu or in the toolbar.

calculation dialog windows

The calculation dialog windows are non-modal. You can open more of them at once, and leave them open, if you want to work with different parts of the GROMA system. You can switch between the individual editing boxes in the dialog window using the keys <Tab>, <Shift-Tab>, <Up-arrow>, <Down-arrow> or <Enter>.

The calculation windows consist of several areas, usually framed. They always have an area for entering the data, area for results, and the area with buttons. More complex windows can contain even more areas (plot orientation, coordinate list, etc.) and eventually bookmarks with other hidden parts of the window. Managing the calculations is, with only a few exceptions, identical, therefore we will describe in detail only the polar survey calculation. For other calculations will be described only the differences from the standard procedure.

Tip

After pressing the key <+> or <-> in the point number box (if filled in), the number will be increased/decreased by one. This applies for all the boxes for point number input.
