The compute menu in the Main window allows you to begin the computation of curves.
Command |
What it does |
|
Forward |
starts the computation of a new curve in the forward* direction |
|
Backward |
starts the computation of a new curve in the backward* direction | |
Extend |
extends the computation of a previous curve in the same direction, with the same continuation settings. |
You can pause or stop the computation at any moment. It also possible to suspend computation by setting an appropriate pause mode.
*There are two directions in which a curve can be computed starting from a given initial point. Arbitrairly one of them is called 'forward direction' and the other one is called 'backward direction'.
