[CSC 415] import file

[Andrew J. Pounds]

I'll try to get you started here... Steve, I'm copying you because you 
may find this helpful...

In your describe.general file you had three variables,  Time, Direction, 
and Velocity.

Create a DX net that looks like this....

dxnet


If you click on Import you it will open up and give you some options.  
Here is what I put in it...

dximport

Note -- your file that you created in the data importer was called 
describe.general.  I had to include that exact filename in the Import 
box.    I am also only importing two of your variables.

Now, once you get this to run and run the program an image window should 
open.  If you click on the AutoAxis tab (I think it is under options in 
the Image window) you can name your X and Y axis.   See if you can get 
this to work and let me know if you have other questions.
