The Float Point Edit Box Embedded Calculator

As of version 3, VTube-STEP and VTube-LASER includes an embedded calculator in the float point edit boxes anywhere in the main user interface.

See this example of how it works.

This is the tube before the change.
Choose the LL value in the LRA grid.
Subtract 5.2 like this:
The VTube calculator returns the result in the edit box like this:
Now reverse-calc the data and this is the new tube.

Constants and Functions Available in Float Point Edit Boxes

The calculator has many built-in constants and functions. A constant is like the universal value for Pi (pronounced "Pie"). It's fixed value is 3.14... (etc.)

A function takes values and returns a result. The function "Length3D(0,0,0,10,10,10)" typed into a edit box will return the 3D length between 0,0,0 and 10,10,10. (The answer is 17.321. Try it in any edit box.)

Here is a list of constants and functions that you can use:

Symbol	Description	Example Entry in Edit Box	Example Result in Edit Box
+	Add	1 + 1	2
-	Subtract	10 - 5	5
*	Multiply	3 * 6	18
/	Float Point Divide	3 / 8	0.375
^	Raised to the power	4 ^ 5	1024
Sqr	Square root	sqr(64)	8
!	Factorial	5!	120
Pi	Returns the constant value referred to as Pi	Pi	3.14159265359

STEP 2 - RADII TAB MENU

Enter the XYZ menu. This is the Parametric Tube Data menu in STEP mode, and the either the MASTER TUBE or MEASURED TUBE menus in VTube-LASER mode. Click on the Radii tab menu.

STEP 3 - PRESS the "Resynchronize Radii to Default" BUTTON

Press the button to change all the radii.

STEP 4 - PRESS the "F2" BUTTON to REFRESH THE PARAMETRICS

Pressing F2 will refresh the parametric model and show the radius change like this.
