Gordon,

     Nice spreadsheet!

     I took the liberty to add a plotting feature that marks the location
     on each compressor map for the current settings. Just makes it
     easier to quickly compare each map.

     I also added version tracking to the file name.

     Heath,

     Excellent job, buddy!

     This is a terriffic addition to the spreadsheet. We now have the
     picture in plain view. Well done.

     Btw, how did you do it? I assume you must have made actual excel
     graphs and then pasted the jpegs in as background.

     Anyway, it's a great feature. Thanks a lot. Shows what can be done
     in a collaborative environment.

     Anyone else who has similar good ideas please step forward. If you
     need me to unlock the formulas on the spreadsheet I can send those
     to you.


     Regards,

     Gordon.

Gordon,

No problem....

Yea, I just graphed the data with an Excel chart, then if you
format the chart area, click on "Fill Effects" select the
"Picture" tab and "Select Picture."  After the compressor
map is in the background, just move the axes and change
the scale on the chart to match the compressor map.

I just realized that the size of the file quadrupled, but I
think that is because when I copied the compressor maps and
saved them, for whatever reason paint would only let me save
them as BMP's instead of JPG's.  If you use JPG's the file
size will go back down.
