Mapping File
The Mapping file basically defines the position, orientation and scale of each elements in the texture over the support. The mapping file is a text file format with an *.OPT3DMapping extension.
Mapping Parameters
The Mapping file describes the number of patterns used in a 3D texture, their coordinates, orientation and scale values with respect to the axis system.
The *.OPT3DMapping file is built according to the following structure:
First line: number of patterns to be built in the texture.
Following lines: x y z ix iy iz jx jy jz kx ky kz
x y z: coordinates of the pattern's origin according to the axis system.
ix iy iz: orientation of the pattern with the respect of X direction of the axis system.
jx jy jz: orientation of the pattern with the respect of Y direction of the axis system.
kx ky kz: pattern scale values for x y and z directions.
A value of "1" means 100% of the original pattern size.
