The Browser window.

- Window title:
- DsTool: Browser
- Function:
- The Browser window allows the user to examine data points stored in the DsTool memory objects.
- Description:
- The Browser window is opened by selecting the Browser option from the Panels menu
button located in the Command window. A point may be copied to the Selected Point window, written to the
standard output device, deleted, or simply examined.
- Panel items:
-
- Memory object stack setting: Allows the user to choose a memory object
for inspection. The memory objects are:
- Continuation:
- Points calculated during a continuation calculation, by either
the Periodic Orbits or Equilibrium Continuation window.
- Fixed:
- Fixed points and stable and unstable manifolds.
- Mult:
- Trajectory data for multiple trajectories, i.e., trajectories computed
from the Multiple Orbits window.
- Traj:
- Trajectory data for single trajectories, i.e., trajectories computed
from the Orbits window. This is the default setting.
- Param:
- Points with specified parameters. Data will not be stored in this
memory object by DsTool Tk, but may be loaded in from data files.
- Sel_Pt:
- Points saved by the user from the Selected Point window.
- Flow numeric field:
Displays the number of the flow to investigate. Flows are numbered sequentially,
with the earliest flow being number 1, and the latest flow being number
.
- Flow number increase command button:
Increases the flow number by one.
- Flow number decrease command button:
Decreases the flow number by one.
- Range of flows message:
Displays the range of flows which are currently in memory.
- Trajectory numeric field:
Displays the number of the trajectory to investigate.
- Trajectory number increase command button:
Increases the trajectory number by one.
- Trajectory number decrease command button:
Decreases the trajectory number by one.
- Range of trajectories message:
Displays the range of trajectories in the specified flow.
- Point numeric field:
Displays the point from the specified trajectory to investigate.
Points are numbered sequentially.
- Point number increase command button:
Increases the point number by one.
- Point number decrease command button:
Decreases the point number by one.
- Range of points message:
Displays the range of points in the specified trajectory of the specified flow.
- Highlight exclusive setting:
Allows the user to choose wheher highlighting is turned on.
Setting this field to ``on'' causes the point currently specified by the above fields
to be highlighted in each 2-D View window. Highlighting consists of marking
the position of the point by a large set of crosshairs. When an invalid point is specified,
no highlight is done. The default is to have highlighting off.
- Variablename read-only text fields:
Display the value of the variable or parameter for the specified point in memory.
There is one read-write text field for each variable and parameter in the defined dynamical
system. If the point specified by the flow, trajectory, and point fields is not a valid
point in memory, then these fields are blank.
- Color read-only text fields:
Display the color information for the point in memory. The first color is the alternating color,
the second is the pick color, and the last is the symbol code. See section 3.3 on
colors in DsTool for additional information.
- Copy command button:
Copies the current point specified by the browser into the initial
column of the Selected Point window.
- Output command button:
Writes the variable, parameter, and color fields of the currently displayed
point to the standard output device (normally the terminal).
- Delete command button:
Deletes the selected flow. Dstool will not ask for confirmation.
The stored points field on the Command window is adjusted, as are the range fields above.
- Dismiss command button:
Closes the Browser window.
