Editing TkMadagascar (section)

=== Configuring Flows ===

Once the '''Edit parameters:''' window is open, you can simply input values for the parameters that you want to set.  You only need to enter the value, you do not need to enter the value in "key=val" format.  There are some special parameters that every Flow has:

'''output''' - the name or names of files that you want to output to.  If multiple files, then separate the names with a space.  You do not need to include '.rsf' on the end of file names.

'''input'''  - the name or names of files that you want to input to.  Same rules as above.

'''custom''' - a raw string of any additional parameters that you want to set.  You must set these parameters in "key=val" format, unlike the other parameters.  There is no parameter checking for parameters set this way.  Multiple parameters should be separated by spaces.

Additionally, some programs have parameters that work on any axis.  For example, sfspike allows the user to set the number of samples (n#) for any axis.  These parameters are listed as the parameter name, with the # still attached.  These parameters must be set with "key=val" formatting as well. 

For sfspike's n# parameter, you might set:  n#=   n1=100 n2=100

Once a Flow is configured, the Flow will change color to have a green background and the name of the output file will appear inside the flow.  A green Flow is good-to-go, and does not require any additional configuration.  It will be automatically saved, exported, or executed.  Unconfigured Flows may be saved, but will not be exported or executed.

Click '''Accept''' to save your parameter selections.
Click '''Preview''' to see how the Flow would look in an SConstruct (useful for debugging).
