tomwalters@0 1 SILENT OPTIONS LIST:
tomwalters@0 2
tomwalters@0 3 Silent options are a subset of the AIM options that are occasionally
tomwalters@0 4 useful but not sufficiently important to be included in the options
tomwalters@0 5 lists put out by the gen??? -help instructions. They are listed below
tomwalters@0 6 with simple one line explanations. This is the full extent of the
tomwalters@0 7 documentation for most of these options currently. Those with ***
tomwalters@0 8 prior to the comment have a man-like entry in the second Section of
tomwalters@0 9 this file.

tomwalters@0 90
tomwalters@0 91
tomwalters@0 92
tomwalters@0 93
tomwalters@0 94
tomwalters@0 95 overlap The overlap of transparent windows of the
tomwalters@0 96 individual functions
tomwalters@0 97 Scalar: percentage. Default value: 50%
tomwalters@0 98
tomwalters@0 99 The fact that the output functions are related means that they fit up
tomwalters@0 100 under each other in the display in a way that concentrates the lines
tomwalters@0 101 on the landscape and improves the display.
tomwalters@0 102
tomwalters@0 103 headroom Display with headroom for the uppermost channel
tomwalters@0 104 Scalar: percentage. Default value: 0%
tomwalters@0 105
tomwalters@0 106 Because of the overlap of the transparent windows, part of the upper-
tomwalters@0 107 most transparent window is hidden by the upper edge of the display
tomwalters@0 108 window. This can cause truncation of the waves in the upper channels.
tomwalters@0 109 To avoid truncation, headroom enables the user to specify that the
tomwalters@0 110 highest channel ought to be centred below the upper edge of the win-
tomwalters@0 111 dow. The value specified is taken to be the percentage of the window
tomwalters@0 112 between the zero line of the upper channel and the upper edge of the
tomwalters@0 113 window.

tomwalters@0 116
tomwalters@0 117 useprevious
tomwalters@0 118
tomwalters@0 119 Command line options override the non-auditory options in the header
tomwalters@0 120 of a reused file (ie. useprevious=on).
tomwalters@0 121
tomwalters@0 122 Note: length=remainder gets the whole of the reused file. Otherwise you get
tomwalters@0 123 the amount you request (or the default length if no option is given).
tomwalters@0 124
tomwalters@0 125 BUG: AIM will allow you to overwrite of the channels option, but it
tomwalters@0 126 will not act appropriately. It would need it to change the frame size,
tomwalters@0 127 which in turn would require knowledge of the file format which it does
tomwalters@0 128 not currently have.)
