I have been told that in helio the sun should be placed opposite it's geocentric position.
I don't know where i got this from but i haven't had any complaints yet, i will ask around.

Astroclock / Re: Hide Planet aspects and/or make smaller

Nice to hear, i don't hear a lot about astroclock.
Do you mean hiding the aspects in the wheel? I could do that yes.

Great to see you're having fun with astrobasic Vivian, makes my day.

Good you could fix the errors, hope it wasn't too bad, sometimes i change  the syntax of a command, however i try to document any changes in the help.
I'm curious, could you post a screenshot or maybe mail the script to have a look?

In short, not gonna happen, sorry. You could look at time - query however that is an advanced topic.

Look at Time - List, it has a checkbox for heliocentric calculations.

Astrobasic / Re: Shrinking code

« on: April 25, 2022, 11:29:42 AM »

I was confused about your code, i know why, look if it write it out in my own indenting style it becomes this, which is perfectly fine. The bracket style got me wrong footed. Hey i didn't know ab could do this

Code: [Select]

if (stepOpt = 0)
  step += 2; ` 1/4 degree
else
  {
  if (stepOpt = 1)
       step += 4;
  } ` 1/2 degree
  else
    {
    if (stepOpt = 2)
       step += 8;
    } ` 1 degree
    else
      {
      if (stepOpt = 3)
      step += 40;
      } ` 5 degrees
      else
        {
        if (stepOpt = 4)
          step += 240;
        } ` 30 degrees

Looks cool, it's part of a module, which one?
I assume you use previously calculated values or do you still use that 1000000 loop, if so, how fast is it?

My fault, you're right, you need sortedPDistances even if you don't use it.

Astrobasic / Re: getradii and getplanet

« on: April 18, 2022, 07:23:58 AM »

then what are you doing with sortedPDistances[], you never seem to use it.

Astrobasic / Re: getradii and getplanet

« on: April 17, 2022, 08:19:42 PM »

Some things i don't understand.

Code: [Select]

i = 0; for (i < 10)
  {
  j = 0; for (j < 100001)
    {
    calculate(1, jdNow - i, lon, lat, -2);
    getplanet(i , 0, planetData);
    pDistances[j] = planetData[5];
    }
  sort(pDistances, sortedPDistances, 0);
  medianDistances[i] = pDistances[50001];
  }
you sort values into sortedPDistances but you don't seem to use them.
In stead you are using one particular value out of pDistances[].
Does not make sense to me.

small improvement. What this does besides shorter code is eliminate the need to have that if (i = 0) condition evaluated 100000 times. A general rule is to have as little as possible code inside a loop.

ps. I modified your post to add code tags, see if you like it.

Code: [Select]

set(minMaxDistances[0], 10000000);
set(minMaxDistances[1], -1);
i = 0; for (i < 100000)
  {
  r = jdNow - i;
  ` calculate(char Index, real julianday, real placelongitude, real placelatitude, char housesystem);
  calculate(1, r, lon, lat, -2);
  getradii(1, planetRads);
  j = 0; for (j < 14)
    {
    if (planetRads[j] < minMaxDistances[0][j])
      minMaxDistances[0][j] = planetRads[j];
    if (planetRads[j] > minMaxDistances[1][j])
      minMaxDistances[1][j] = planetRads[j];
    }
  }
