Hello Again,

Making progress on the print option, towards that end I offer the following image:
http://lerch.no-ip.com/atm/FigXp_Print.gif (24kb)

The current thinking on printing is, whatever screen you have pulled up
gets printed.  Along with what is on the screen, I've added some text below
the image that includes:

#1 The zone effective radius
#2 Normalized and averaged knife edge readings (So Zone 1 = 0)
#3 Ideal Knife edge values
#4 The difference between the average and ideal knife edge readings.

Would anyone like anything else added to this text area?  I thought about
printing the actual entered knife edge readings, however asides from being
a pain and taking up a bunch of real estate, I thought I'd just put the
normalized and averaged knife edge readings.

I may decide to do things a little different for the printing simulated
star test images.  That being you'd get a set of test images for each of
the following amounts of defocus

0 waves
2 waves
5 waves
10 waves

I think I can get all that to fit on a single piece of paper.   My concern
is how to print the background.  If I leave it black, we waste a lot of
ink. If I invert it, well you going to have to be smart enough to realize
that black rings on paper = white rings in the eyepiece...  Any thoughts?


Take Care,
