¥ Automate lets you create a large number of renderings at
once
²Note that most (but not all) number entry boxes have
slightly raised borders:
²Such boxes can use
an expression with the variable ÔtÕ when Automate is used:
åTurn Automate
on
åEnter some small number in the Frames control (say 5)
åEnter 70+5*t in the Roll control, then press Compute
åThe dataset will be rendered with the variable ÔtÕ set
to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 in turn
ØThat is, t will run from 0 to one less than the number of Frames, and all the raised-border boxes that use expressions with
ÔtÕ will be evaluated prior to each frame being
rendered
åIn this example, this will result in a sequence of views
of the dataset from different roll angles 70o, 75o, 80o, 85o, 90o
åCan also use ÔtÕ in cutout parameters to make cutouts
depend on ÔtimeÕ
Ø2 cutouts, Left of=10+3*t and Right of=-10+3*t will produce a 20 mm thick slice that slides leftwards as t
increases
åCan use ÔtÕ in more than one raised-border box
simultaneously to make complex animations (e.g.,
Roll and Cutouts
together)
åPut cursor in raised-border box and press Enter to have box reset to last numerical value used by Automate
