Description:

 

Parameter	Value Type	Description

enabled	Boolean	Activates the radio box
help_text	String	Specifies the help text
documentation_text	String	Specifies the documentation text
units	Int_units	Specifies the radio box size as pixel or relative to Adams windowl
horiz_resizing	Int_h_resize	Specifies the attachment and scaling option for radio box
vert_resizing	Int_v_resize	Specifies the attachment and scaling option for radio box
location	Real	Specifies the location of the radio box
height	Real	Specifies the height of the radio box in terms of relative units or pixel
width	Real	Specifies the width of the radio box in terms of relative units or pixel
choices	String	Specifies labels of the choices to be displayed for the radio box
values	String	Specifies the real values to be stored in result component
commands	String	Specifies the command to be executed by the radio box
current choice	String	Specifies the default choice to be executed by the radio box

Extended Definition:

1.	The name of the radio box to be created is specified initially. If parameter ‘Enabled’ is set to ON, the radio box button will be preactivated. A new name can be suggested for the radio box by specifying the parameter ‘new_radio_box_name’.

2.	The pop-up help and documentation help can be specified in appropriate dialogue boxes.

3.	The size of the radio box can be specified either in terms of number of pixels. Alternatively, the size can also be stated as relative to the Adams window

4.

The vertical and horizontal resizing options are used to adjust the placement of the radio box on existing dialogue box. For example, attach_left; attach_top options for Horiz_resizing and Vert_resizing will place the radio box on the top left corner of the dialogue box. The location can also be specified from the top left corner by adjusting the parameter ‘location’

5.

The size of the radio box window can be specified with respect to the Adams window size. The value for parameter height and width should be a real number between 0.0 and 2.0, where 2.0 represents the height of the Adams/View window. Therefore, a value of 1.0 will set the button window to be one half as high as the Adams/View window.

6.

The parameter ‘command’ specifies the name of the command to be executed when the radio box is clicked. If multiple commands are entered then the command to be executed is decided by the parameter ‘choice’. Alternatively, the values specifies the real values to be stored in the result set component, The values can be a list of numbers, or an expression referencing an array of existing values. The ‘current choice’ parameter decides the default value for the radio box from the choices offered.
