OOF2: The Manual
Name
automatic — Set parameters automatically
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.  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 checkbox to turn
               automatic behavior on and off, as shown in Figure 6.121.
             
      
Figure 6.121. An Automatic Widget

                     	    Three automatic widgets, from the OOF.Microstructure.Create_From_ImageFile
                     	    dialog box.  The checkboxes 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.
                     	  
                  
               If a name needs to be unique, automatically generated names may
               have <x> appended to them, just
               like other names do, as explained in Note.
