Variable Browser

The browser can be accessed in two ways:

• From the Insert Menu; or
• From the widget, which brings up a horizontal menu for defining, constants, parameters and variables. Click on the final option on this menu, ``Browser'', to bring up the window.

The variable browser is a popup window that shows all currently defined variables in the system. It is an ``always on top'' window, which will be visible over any other window including those for Ravel/Minsky (and those for other programs which you have open at the time). This facilitates its use as a means to insert multiple variables into a model.

This is a convenience toolbar that allows one to select a variable for insertion into the design canvas, instead of having to type the new variable's name from scratch.

At the top of the variable browser are some filter checkboxes, that allow you filter the variables shown by variable type.
