See -- the COPYING file or http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/COPYING for more details -- {- - When attempting to make a pair of resistors with a large ratio, it is - optimal to devote equivalent area to each resistor. As such, the most - obviously ideal ratios are those which are perfect squares; this allows - one string of sqrt(R) in series, and one string of sqrt(R) in parallel, - devoting equal area to each resistor and resulting in a ratio R. - - Unfortunately, laying out such resistors to be gradient insensitive is - not as simple as when matching two resistors of equal value: after some - thought it should be obvious that common centroiding does not work to - cancel the effect of gradients, since one resistor accumulates errors - linearly and the other as 1/delta. As a result, the "correct" layout for - a given set of resistors can be very nonintuitive. - - This software performs 2d optimization of a resistor pack in the presence - of linear gradients in X and Y of specified magnitude. It is assumed - that the resistor ratio is equal to nUnits^2, i.e., the resistors will be - nUnits in parallel and in series. The results are written to the present - directory in the form of the nOut best configurations. - - Usage: - - resgrad <nUnits> <nRows> <deltaY> <deltaX> <nOut> - nUnits : the number of units per resistor - nRows : the number of rows into which to split - NOTE: nRows must evenly divide 2*nUnits! - deltaY : deltaRho/Rho between top-most and bottom-most row - deltaX : deltaRho/Rho between left-most and right-most row - nOut : output the nOut best configurations -}
