Name

column — specifies conversion parameters for a column in a curvetable


	    <column> = EMPTY

Name	Type	Default
label	The name of the column that the parameters apply to	Required
id	The curve id to be used for the column values
factor	A number to multiply curve values
forcezero	A number for the year to intersect the curve with a y-value of zero
ignore	A boolean value to indicate if this column should be ignored	false
square	If specified a number indicating that data values will be flat-lined between vertices.
xscale	A number to convert age values from periodic to years by first multiplying by this value
xshift	A number to convert age value from periodic to years by adding this value

The column element specifies additional conversion parameters for curvetables on a column by column basis.

These elements contain column: curvetable.

The following elements can occur in column: NONE

label: The name of the column that the parameters apply to. The parameters in this element will apply to the column with the matching name.
id: If specified will provide the ID value for the curve represented by this column. If not specified then the ID will be determined by the column label and pattern.
factor: If specified the scaling factor used to multiply data values.
forcezero: If specified the age at which the curve will intersect the z-axis.
ignore: If 'true' then do not convert this column in to a curve.
square: If the square attribute is specified the values will be flat-lined between vertices. In flat lining mode the values will remain constant until prior to the next inflection point. The numeric value of the square attribute will indicate how many years prior to the next inflection point where the additional flat-line point will be inserted. Use a value of 1 to have the flat-line point one year prior.
xscale: If specified a value to convert age values from periodic to years. The age value is first multiplied by xscale.
xshift: If specified a value to convert age values from periodic to years. The xshift value is added to the age value.
