*SetFieldLength() - symmetric field pair

Sets the length properties of a symmetric field pair.

Syntax

*SetFieldLength(field_name, LEFT|RIGHT, length_x, length_y, length_z 
                                      length_rx, length_ry, length_rz)

Arguments

field_name
The variable name of an existing field pair.
Data type: varname
LEFT RIGHT
If LEFT is specified, the properties are assigned to the left field, and the right field properties are made symmetric to the left field.
If RIGHT is specified, the properties are assigned to the right field, and the left field properties are made symmetric to the right field.
length_x length_y length_z
The field values at length_x, length_y, and length_z, respectively.
Data type: real
length_rx length_ry length_rz
The field t_x, t_y, and t_z values at length_rx, length_ry, and length_rz, respectively.
Data type: real
