What do I need to do with this file to make it work:

matmatic configuration file

Blank lines are ignored

Any line beginning with the character # is a comment and is ignored.

Please be aware that if you re-install Matmatic, any changes you make

here will be replaced with the original version. I suggest

that you put any additional commands of your own in a separate file.

See the business about userconfig.txt at the end of this file.

The "verbose" command turns on logging of informational messages

to let you know what's going on. If you don't want them,

comment it out or say "verbose 0". To get lots of extra information

use "verbose 2".

verbose 1

The scan command tells matmatic where to automatically look for

matmatic script files. The files it recognizes as matmatic scripts

end with either ".mm1" or ".mm1.txt". The contents of the script will

determine what type of file is produced. Currently, matmatic supports

surfaces (a single material) and collections (multiple materials for a figure.)

The default location for the resulting file is the same place as the script. The

default file name will be formed by replacing the script suffix with the appropriate

suffix for the type of file produced. For example, a surface will become a ".mt5"

material file. A collection will become either a ".pz2" mat pose (for Poser 5 and 6)

or a ".mc6" material collection file (Poser 6 only).

When specifying these locations, you can use either Poser style (with colons)

or the style supported by your operating system. Poser style paths

can begin with "Runtime:" or ":Runtime:". Your default runtime directory

will replace that part of the path name.

These are the places for matmatic scripts by default. You can

comment these out if you don't want them. Add additional scan commands

to point to any other directories you like.

If you put a * at the end of your folder name in the scan command,

then it will scan that folder and all subfolders under it.

Without the *, only the specified folder is scanned.

scan Runtime:Libraries:pose:MatmaticDemos*
scan Runtime:Libraries:materials:MatmaticDemos*

The include command tells matmatic to continue reading commands

from the specified file. If the file is not found, it will be ignored.

If verbose is at level 2, you'll get a warning.

The userconfig.txt file is assumed to be written by YOU. It does not

come with Matmatic. This way, anything you put in there will never be

changed by re-installing Matmatic.

include userconfig.txt
