Results post processing

Introduction to Results Postprocessing
insertion point. If the insertion point is never set, it will be at the end. If the insertion point is
placed at the beginning of the textbox, the next variable inserted will be at the beginning.
Turning a variable off and then on will remove it and then insert it back into its previous
location. The insertion point is automatically updated such that subsequent insertions are
placed after the previously inserted variable.
User-defined Defaults Function
To provide maximum flexibility to the user, a user-defined function may be provided to override
any and all of the default title settings. Placing the following definition in the MSC.Patran
settings.pcl file specifies a user-defined function.
pref_env_set_string( "results_title_editor_defaults", "my_defaults" )
Where my_defaults is the name of a function. If the results_title_editor_defaults preference
is defined, and the specified function exists, the function will be called whenever the Defaults
button is pressed. The prototype for this function is shown below. An example of this function
will be provided.
FUNCTION my_defaults( tool_class, var, description, show, showPrefix, prefix, @
showSuffix, suffix, asIs, position, newLine )
