Results Manager

The Results Manager is the heart of DISH. All results which DISH creates in response to user actions are stored in the results manager and listed in the Results window. These results are all available at the Glish command line as glish variables of the same name for the user to interact with. DISH immediately plots the currently selected result if it can be plotted. A description is associated with each result. The user can change the description or the name of the result if they choose to do so. Certain results can also be browsed. Since each result is also a glish variable of the same name, new names are limited to be a valid glish variable name.

Results can be copied to and from the clipboard or to the calculator. This Copy/Paste facility is activated by pressing the right mouse button when the mouse pointer is over the Results window. A popup menu appears with the three possible options. The current selection is copied to the chosen destination when a copy option is selected. The contents of the clipboard are pasted into the results manager when that option is selected.
