HELP FILE DRAFT VERSION: FROM RELEASE 2.6
Pick 1-N Positional Wheel Tool
Navigation Links and Top Bar
This tools helps users to wheel Digit games with multiple pick positions. e.g., 3 digit positions games are called Pick 3 and so on. This tool can accommodate based on the pick digits chosen. It has been tested with Pick 8 so far with success.
The title shows Pick "N" Position wheel. It changes automatically to the value chosen in "Total digits(pick N) in game" text box. The text box will allow till 99 but usually people need upto 10 - Pick 10 digit game. Next controls grid is the navigation bar. The navigation buttons help navigate to different section of the tool without having to scroll manually.
Positional Digits Grids with filters
For each position in the game there will be a section which allow users to choose 0-9 digits one at a time. There are handy buttons that let people to select/deselect different digit groupings e.g., L or H from LH
- LH filter L : 0-4; H : 5-9
- EO filter O : 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ; E : 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
- IO filter I : 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ; O : 0, 1, 2, 8, 9
- LMH filter L : 0-2; M : 3-6; H : 7-9
- OCS filter O : 2, 3, 5 ; C : 0, 6, 8, 9 ; S : 1, 4, 7
Straight Combos and Pairs filters
You can bring in following character separatedspaces,commas,semicolons, multi-line combos and pairs from other softwares. Note that the separators separate values on left and right of separator as two different values. e.g., 123,234,345 in the combos box will consider 3 combos whereas 1;2;3, 2;3;4, 3;4;5 would consider 9 combos 001 to 005 It will automatically left pad based on your pick game digit positions selection. e.g., 12 will be considered as 012. In future a small section will be provided to convert combos with different digit separators in addition to combo and pair separators will be provided. It will help with data conversion and allow importing combos from other softwares to filter further.
Note that when you want to enable this filtering you have to select the check-box if not filtering will work without it.
Digits Groupings Filters
This section allows users to select how many digits(counted in combo) fall under grouping. e.g., it allows us to choose how many low digits are allowed in our selections. These act in addition to the pattern filters especially for larger pick positions(pick 5+)
Combos Patterns filters
Filter by various pattern representations. refer to grouping> for all available groupings.
- 2 sets patterns : LH, OE, IO
- 3 sets patterns : LMH, OCS
Positional Pairs Grids with filters
For each direct positional pair, a grid will be available.
e.g., for Pick-3 there are 2 positional pairs : 1-2, 2-3; Note that 1-3 is not considered. This is to make this wheel more of positional similar to digits instead of too many panels.Especially for large sets these pairs grid will take more viewable area. There are pairs groups selection/de-selection buttons under each Positional pair grid. You can always mix match these. Note : I have plans to add an inverse selection button. that would help people who think of include vs exclude.
Sums Filter
Allows users to choose all or a subset of available sum of all digits of the combo.
LDR Filter
Allows users to choose all or a subset of available LDR or short sum of the sum of all digits of the combo.
Root Sum Filter
Allows users to choose all or a subset of available Root Sum of the sum of all digits of the combo.
