Whats new:
18-Mar-2023
Fixed the vertical scaling on the Edit Stress Curve graph. I've been thinking of doing that for the last 20 years or so. Indecision may or may not be my problem.
19-Mar-2023
Added an option to graph just the tip region dimensions. Maybe I'm finally starting to understand how the tip works.
6-May-2023
Added an option to calculate EVO6 (Tri-Hex) tapers from an existing taper by equal Moment of Inertia (MoI; stiffness). No documentation at present.
