The sequencer is available in script mode and in the user 
interface. However, it can be data driven only in the user 
interface (see  #!Lusl,dxall495 h Data Explorer Scripting Language  #!EL  in IBM Visualization Data Explorer User's Guide, and 
the example later in this section.) #!N #!N Inputs #!T,1,91,276,461,646  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--14*

#!N This module allows a user to "animate" a visualization. Through 
inputs to the module (outputs from other tools or values set 
in its configuration dialog box) the interactor can be "data driven." 
#!N #!N If the interactor is not data-driven, its attributes are 
taken from its  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Frame Control #!EF dialog box (accessed from 
the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   ... #!EF button). #!N #!N The configuration dialog box 
for Sequencer can be accessed by selecting the Sequencer icon in 
the VPE and then choosing  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Configuration #!EF in the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
Edit #!EF menu. #!N #!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
min #!EF  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   and #!EF  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   max #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N 
specify the minimum and maximum integer values (frame numbers) for an 
"animation" sequence. By default,  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min #!EF = 1 and  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
max #!EF = 100. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta #!EF 
#!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the increment between integers in the output 
sequence. If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min #!EF and  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   max #!EF are equal, 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta #!EF is ignored. By default,  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta #!EF = 
1. #!I0 #!N #!N Note: If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min #!EF is specified, 
and either  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min #!EF or  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   max #!EF change, the 
output value (  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   frame #!EF ) is set to the 
new  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min #!EF value and the Start and Stop values 
in the Frame Control dialog box are set to the new 
minimum and maximum, respectively. #!N #!N However, if  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min #!EF 
is not specified and  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   max #!EF is and then changes 
on the next execution, the output frame value becomes the current 
Start value as set in the Frame Control dialog box. #!N 
#!N Script Language Example #!N #!N The following example uses the 
Sequencer in script mode to display a series of isosurfaces. The 
input to the macro do_each_frame is the frame number, which is 
converted into an isosurface value by multiplying it by 0.05. The 
initialization values are set by @startframe, @endframe, and @nextframe. The sequence 
command invokes the macro for each step of the sequence. Finally, 
the play command starts the Sequencer running. For more information about 
using the sequencer in script mode, see  #!Lusl,dxall495 h Data Explorer Scripting Language  #!EL  in IBM Visualization 
Data Explorer User's Guide. #!N #!N #!CForestGreen #!N  #!F-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18*   #!N macro
