Classes Used Exip SPSectionOfTrough SPTroughReinforcement Dimensionsandlabels SPTroughmidandendwalls Draw

Description of classes
A. Exip
I. Purpose In this class a worksheet which contains values required for the drawing is opened and extracted values from that sheet and assigned to corresponding variables. II. Description All the dimensions are in millimeters so the values from the input worksheet which are in meters are multiplied by 1000 and the values which are in millimeters are taken directly. The variables in this class are used by all the remaining classes.

B. SPSectionOfTrough
I. Purpose In this class the section of trough and the drawing sheet is drawn.

II.

Description Section is drawn from 0, 0 index.

The variables named sx, sy are the starting points of the bottom left corner of the sheet.

C. SPTroughReinforcement
In this class the reinforcement of the section of trough is coded as for the values mentioned in the input worksheet.

D. Dimensionsandlabels
In this class the dimensions and the labels of the section of trough is coded as for the values mentioned in the input worksheet.

E. SPTroughmidandendwalls
In this class the trough walls drawn as per the values mentioned in the input worksheet. Starting point of each wall (end and mid wall) is defined with x, y variables. Wall can be moved by changing values of x, y.

F. Draw
In this class the commands for drawing mentioned.

Conclusion
The software requirements, hardware requirements and purpose and description of all the classes are explained in detail. If there is any queries or comments please email to damucse08@gmail.com (member of developer team).
