#!N This interactor allows the user to interactively change vector values. 
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 
(e.g.,  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   stringdata #!EF or  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   valuelist #!EF ) are taken 
from its  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Set Attributes... #!EF dialog box (accessed from the 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Edit #!EF pull-down menu in the Control Panel). Note: The 
module's control panel is invoked by double clicking on its icon 
in the VPE window. Its configuration dialog box is accessed from 
the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Edit #!EF pull-down menu in the same window. #!N 
#!I0 #!N #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data #!EF #!EF #!I50 
#!N is the object from which the interactor can derive any 
or all of the minimum, maximum, and delta attributes when their 
corresponding input uses the default value (tab up). Initially, all inputs 
are default values. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   refresh #!EF #!EF 
#!I50 #!N resets the interactor so that the output is computed 
from the current input. If  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   refresh #!EF = 0 (the 
default), the output is recomputed only if the current output does 
not lie within the range of the current  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data #!EF 
. The default for the output of the interactor is, for 
each component of the vector, the midpoint of the corresponding component 
of  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min #!EF and  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   max #!EF . #!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 values of the 
interactor's vector output. If set, these values override those implied by 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data #!EF . Each component of the vector values corresponds 
to a component of the interactor output. #!N #!N A specified 
value of [10 20 30] means that the minimum (or maximum) 
of the first component is 10, of the second is 20, 
and of the third is 30. When the specified value is 
scalar, that value is used for all components. #!N #!N If 
neither  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min #!EF nor  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data #!EF is specified, the 
interactor uses the minimum set in the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Set Attributes... #!EF 
dialog box. #!N #!N If neither  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   max #!EF nor  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
data #!EF is specified, the interactor uses the maximum in the 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Set Attributes... #!EF dialog box. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
delta #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies a scalar value as a 
factor for calculating the increment between successive outputs over the specified 
range. The actual value depends on the interpretation specified by  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
method #!EF (see below). #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   method #!EF 
#!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the interpretation of  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta #!EF : 
#!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   #!N #!N #!I30 #!N o "rounded": the 
increment (  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   max #!EF -  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min #!EF ) * 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta #!EF is rounded to a "nice" number. The spacing 
between successive values will approximate the interval specified by  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta 
#!EF . (For example, the default value of 0.01 specifies an 
interval of 1/100 of the specified range.) #!N #!I30 #!N o 
"relative": the interpretation is the same as for "rounded," but the 
increment is  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   not #!EF rounded. #!N #!I30 #!N o "absolute": 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta #!EF is the absolute value of the interval. (If 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta #!EF has not been specified, its default is 1.) 
#!N #!N The default value for  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   method #!EF depends on 
other input. The default is: #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   #!N #!N 
#!I30 #!N - "rounded" if  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   data #!EF is specified  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   
or #!EF if both  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   min #!EF and  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   max #!EF 
are specified. #!N #!I30 #!N - "absolute" in all other cases.

#!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   decimals #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N specifies the 
number of decimal places displayed in the interactor. If neither  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
data #!EF nor  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   delta #!EF is specified, the interactor uses 
the value in its own  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Set Attributes... #!EF dialog box. 
#!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   label #!EF #!EF #!I50 #!N is 
the global label of all instances of the corresponding interactor stand-in. 
An interactor instance's local label (set from the Control Panel) overrides 
a global label. If not specified, the global label is set 
by the user interface. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N #!N Example Visual
