set_defx

set_defx variable parameter value

When we have common values to set for many parameters we may use the set_defx command. For example take the following settings:

set_def FIJ.HIDDEN.NAME         "Window size for good data scan"
set_def FIJ.HIDDEN.MIN          1
set_def FIJ.HIDDEN.MAX          200
set_def FIJ.HIDDEN.VALUE        100

set_def ASSEMBLE.HIDDEN.NAME    "Window size for good data scan"
set_def ASSEMBLE.HIDDEN.MIN     1
set_def ASSEMBLE.HIDDEN.MAX     200
set_def ASSEMBLE.HIDDEN.VALUE   100

The repetition here of common elements is tedious. Using set_defx the equivalent becomes:

set_defx defs_hidden    NAME    "Window size for good data scan"
set_defx defs_hidden    MIN     1
set_defx defs_hidden    MAX     200
set_defx defs_hidden    VALUE   100

set_def  FIJ.HIDDEN             $defs_hidden
set_def  ASSEMBLE.HIDDEN        $defs_hidden
