The constructor helper


Since LTPDA is an object-oriented system, the user must create objects of different types using the appropriate constructors. The various constructor forms for each different LTPDA class can be explored using the constructor helper.

To start the constructor helper GUI:

    >> constructor

or click the appropriate button on the Launch Bay.

You should then be presented with the following figure:

Selecting a class from the drop-down list reveals the possible parameter sets for that class constructor. Selecting a parameter set reveals the default parameter list constructor string for constructing that class object in this way. For example, if we want to construct and Analysis Object using the time-series constructor, select the AO class then click on "From Time-series Function". You should then see:

You can then edit the parameter list and build the object by clicking on Build.
