In this tutorial, we'll you will create the shape of a ship's waterline in a table of frame numbers and dimensionless widths. The dataset containing variations of the main dimensions of a ship from tutorial 1 is stored in a data object Ships in the dataset of the knowledge base, so it can be easily used in further calculations. This dataset combined with the dimensionless width table is used to calculate the width at the waterline at frame number 2 for every variation.

TeLiTab is a term that will be used quite often in this tutorial. Therefore, an elaboration on the subject is in order in this very early stage fo for the tutorials.

TeLiTab is an abbreviation of Text, List, Table (see TeLiTab for more detail). It is the standard format in which data is stored inside Quaestor, the easiest way to use data inside a knowledge based systems and the easiest way to exchange data with external applications (see also Use of external or satellite programs ). An example of a telitab is given below, the black text to the right is comment and is not present in the actual telitab.
