Dynamic Variables

Dynamic variables are words of your choice, surrounded by $. In the example below, you see two dynamic variables, one for the “filename” in ReadImage and one for the “title” in Show. These variables were entered by selecting the corresponding check box with an empty text box. The name of the argument was used, but you can change those names to any name that you want, as long as it has no special characters.

When you execute a Star executable that contains dynamic variables, a dialog box like the one above appears. At this point, enter the appropriate values, select ”Done” and the job will execute with those arguments. This is useful when you want to run the same job several times with different arguments.
