History

Hyperview borrows from Gocad (among other software packages) the ability to save and script actions. Every action through the menus, keyboard, or by the mouse is recorded by the program. Actually, what is recorded is both the action and how to counter the action. You can see the recorded actions in the history window. By clicking on an action you can undo that action all subsequent actions. In addition you can save all the actions you do during a run. This functionality is useful in two ways. First, it make it possible to consistently find a view that best illustrates a given point. Second, you can edit and rerun your Á file for a presentation. You can also add sleep X commands that will pause a presentation for a given number of seconds. The history functionality enables figure reproducibility. By saving the history rerunning it in batch mode the figure can be recreated from the command line.
