OOF2: The Manual

Description

Many OOF2 parameters can be set automatically when you cannot or will not do it yourself. For example, the default name of a new Skeleton is skeleton<n>, where n is an integer chosen to make the name unique. The default value of the max parameter in a contour plot is the largest data point. To use the default value of a parameter, set it to automatic.

In text mode, automatic should always be entered without quotation marks. In graphics mode, GUI input widgets for parameters that can be set to automatic contain a check button to turn automatic behavior on and off, as shown in Figure 6.122.

Figure 6.122. An Automatic Widget

Three automatic widgets, from the OOF.Microstructure.Create_From_ImageFile dialog box. The check boxes between the equals signs and the input fields determine whether the parameter is set to automatic or not. Here, microstructure_name is not automatic, and a value has been entered for it. width and height are set to automatic, and their text input fields are inactive.
