¥ 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
