Exclude Options
There are several exclude variables designed to prevent certain patterns
from appearing. Often the reason for not wanting these patterns is due
to machine limitations. Note that the first three are boolean parameters
while the last to are integers.
- Exclude2CantPiecesAnd2x4 The excluded pattern has two 2x4 in
the cant and one 2x4 flitch and no other boards.
- Exclude3CantPiecesAnd2x6 The excluded pattern has three 2x4 in
the cant and one 2x6 flitch and no other boards.
- ExcludeFourTwoTwo The excluded patterns have a 2x4 cant stack
with two 2 inch flitches on one side and no flitches on the other side.
- ExcludeOneAnyCantZeroMinCantWidth The excluded patterns have
a nominal width greater than or equal to this value and have exactly one
1x4 flitch.
- ExcludeTwoAnyCantZeroMinCantWidth The excluded patterns have
a nominal width greater than or equal to this value and have exactly one
2 inch flitch.
- ExcludeDeckAnyCantZeroMinCantWidth The excluded patterns have
a nominal width greater than or equal to this value and have exactly one
decking (five quarter) flitch.
Technical Note
Excluding a pattern usually means that the pattern is used without
the flitches. If the pattern is selected as the best pattern it is
because of its value without the flitches and the output pattern is
just the cant centered in the log.
