Description
Map a supplied print-bed row and column to a zero-based row-major position.
Fabrication records distinguish supplied design versions, geometry, image clocks and material lots. Porosity depends on an envelope-volume definition, compression-positive strain differs from extension-positive strain, and nominal circular nozzle area does not determine printed line width. These scalar terms preserve supplied measurement assumptions.
Map a supplied print-bed row and column to a zero-based row-major position.
When to use this tool
Use Print BED Row Column Position when you already have oneBasedRow, oneBasedColumn, columnCount, rowCount and need to map a supplied print-bed row and column to a zero-based row-major position.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter oneBasedRow, oneBasedColumn, columnCount, rowCount. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read zeroBasedLinearIndex. Use the output convention below.
Require positive safe dimensions, one-based coordinates within bounds, and a safe rowCount*columnCount product. Return (row-1)*columnCount+column-1.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| oneBasedRow | One Based Row | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| oneBasedColumn | One Based Column | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| columnCount | Column Count | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| rowCount | Row Count | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| zeroBasedLinearIndex | (row-1)*columnCount+column-1, with an additional safe total-grid-size guard. | Required. Safe integer. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The total-grid safety guard can reject dimensions even if the requested index is small. No physical bed layout, spacing, orientation or print operation is inferred.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Inspect calibrated geometry, controlled design/material records and the complete process model. Use appropriate physical and biological assessment when evaluating a real construct, device or fabrication condition.
