4.5. Listboxes

There are two listboxes on the left side of the window:

Top:

Object Listbox

The top is named object listbox and it contains a list of objects, with their type and name. Text coloring:

  • Red: Error in the card description

  • Magenta: Visible body/object

  • Orange: Selection locked

On the top there is a filter text box that can narrow the list with items containing the typed-in text. The Checkbuttons on the top of the list box can switch on/off of various object categories

TRC.gif:

Bodies

REGION.gif:

Regions

ROT-DEFI.gif:

Transformations (ROT-DEFI.gifROT-DEFI)

MATERIAL.gif:

Materials (MATERIAL)

pin.gif:

Objects (like point, arrows, rulers, lights)

select.gif:

Narrow the selection to only the selected or visible items

Note

  • Control-Click or Right-Click on the filter icon to display ONLY this type of objects

  • Selecting any item on the list box is equivalent as selecting graphically the objects

  • Double clicking the name or with [Ctrl-E] you can rename the object directly on the object listbox

Bottom:

Properties & Attributes listboxes, that display/edit the

selected cards properties: whats,name()), or attributes:additional information that is linked with the selected object often through other fluka cards.

e.g. Transformations for the bodies or LATTICE.gifLATTICE

transformations, importances for REGIONS

When selecting multiple objects, bodies, regions only the common properties will be displayed

Properties:
  • Bodies:
    • name

    • preceding comments

    • type

    • card what(s)

    • variables starting with “@” show functions that can alter multiple whats

      @Xmid:

      X-coordinate of geometrical center

      @Ymid:

      Y-coordinate of geometrical center

      @Zmid:

      Z-coordinate of geometrical center

      @Dx:

      X dimension

      @Dy:

      Y dimension

      @Dz:

      Z dimension

      @Rx:

      X radius for elliptical cylinders

      @Ry:

      Y radius for elliptical cylinders

      @H:

      height of cylinder, cone, elliptical cylinder

      @Rmajor:

      Major axis of ellipsoid

      @Rminor:

      Minor axis of ellipsoid

      @azm:

      Azimuthal angle of normal or Z vector in RCC.gifRCC, TRC.gifTRC, REC.gifREC

      @polar:

      Azimuthal angle of normal or Z vector in RCC.gifRCC, TRC.gifTRC, REC.gifREC

      It can be extremely handy to define precisely the size of along a direction objects

  • Regions:
    • name

    • preceding comments

    • (Attribute) assigned material

    • list of zones

  • Objects:
    • name

    • preceding comments

    • type

    • option (e.g. type of arrow, ruler, or light)

    • anchor (text location)

    • size in pixels

    • drawing color

    • x,y,z position

    • dx,dy,dz direction

    • … variable properties depending on the object

Attributes:
  • Bodies:
    • name

    • visibility setting

    • locking flag

    • visibility flag

    • bounding box

    • 3d wireframe

    • translation dx,dy,dz

    • expansion

    • transformation

  • Regions:
    • name

    • locking flag

    • bounding box

    • transparency (alpha-channel) for 3D

    • naz (neighbors contiguity list size)

    • rotdefi - associate ROT-DEFI.gifROT-DEFI card through LATTICE.gifLATTICE

    • importances for All particles, Hadrons, EMF and Low energy neutrons

  • Objects:
    • visibility setting

Tips:
  • [Enter] moves to the next field

  • Typing multiple values splits them into many fields:

    e.g. x: 1 2 3 [Enter]

    will split it to x: 1, y: 2, z: 3
