Calculate Command

Calculate Command [ File menu]

This command must be used whenever an "intrinsic" or "input" parameter of the crystal, including most items in the Input1 menu, is changed. For parameters which affect display only, such as line colors colors and other items in the Input2 menu, use the Replot command in the Display menu (shortcut Ctrl-R).

Generally, the time for recalculation is short on current computers, and it does no harm to use Calculate instead of Replot. One exception is when section edges have been added to the normal view of the crystal (see the Sections and Growth Zones dialog in the Input1 menu). In this case, the Calculate command will cause disappearance of the section edges.
