Olan Language Rerences


You tell Olan how you are flying. Olan makes the drawing itself! You say: 2,24m48 and Olan draw:

To tell Olan how it is flawn, you need to communicate with Olan using the Olan language.


Olan uses base figures (see a complete list). we use "{fig}" to indicate a base figure below.
Olan uses rolling elements (see a complete list). we use "{roll}" to indicate figure below.
The full language specification is:
"{comment}" {zoom}% {below}^ {forward}> +|- {roll1} {fig} ( {roll3} ) {roll2} +|-


commentUser comment to be displayed before the figure. use quotes to enter a comment e.g. "break"
zooma value to indicate an increase or decrease in drawing size, e.g. "5%" is a 50% increase
belowspecifiy a number of steps to draw this figure below the previous one, e.g. "5^"
forwardspecifiy a number of steps to draw this figure following the previous one, e.g. "3>"
+|-a minus indicate an inverted entry/exit line. a plus or multiple minuses extend entry/exit line
roll1roll element on the first line of the figure
roll2roll element on the last line of the figure
roll3roll element on the center line of the figure. entered in parentheses


The default is no comment, zero zoom, zero below, one step forward.
As a complex example try to enter 0 "test" 5%6^7>22pn(44)1-

This will display first a line (0) then a comment "test" and a 50% big N figure, drawn 6 steps below and 7 steps forward of the line, with a "2 of 1/2" roll going up, a "4 of 1/4" roll going diagonal, and a full roll going up again, with a negative exit
