Options Dialog Overview
The Fractal Science Kit fractal generator Options Dialog is displayed using the Options... item of the Tools menu on the Fractal Window. The Options Dialog controls global options supported by the Fractal Science Kit.
The Ok button applies any changes you have made and closes the dialog.
The Cancel button discards any changes you have made and closes the dialog.
The Help button opens the documentation in your browser to this page.
There are 2 tabs on the Options Dialog:
- General
- Editor
These are described below.
General
The General tab has 2 options.
Documentation Folder sets the location of the Fractal Science Kit documentation folder you downloaded/extracted. This is required before you can view the Fractal Science Kit documentation. See Installing the Documentation for details.
The Documentation Folder field is read-only. Click the button labeled '...' to the right of the field to open the Browse For Folder dialog, and navigate to, and select, the Fractal Science Kit documentation folder. This populates the Documentation Folder field with the path to the folder. In the example above, the downloaded file was extracted into a folder called fskweb in My Documents.
Notify On Completion allows you to play a sound when the fractal window is finished generating the fractal. Uncheck this property if you do not want the notification.
Editor
The Editor tab has a single option named Spaces to Indent. This option sets the number of spaces to insert (delete) when you press the Tab key (Shift Tab key) or when you invoke the Increase Indent (Decrease Indent) command, when editing code.
