PRIMER Objects

PRIMER objects

PRIMER objects allow you to include output from PRIMER in your template. To create one select the PRIMER tool from the Tools toolbar and click and drag a rectangle on the page. The Edit PRIMER object information window will then be shown.

If you want to create an image using PRIMER to put in the report (e.g. an image showing yield stress or element timestep) select Bitmap for the Type . In this case the Cropping... button can be used to crop away parts of the image from the top, bottom, left and right before showing it (see Image cropping for more details).
The Image properties section allows you to change the justification of the image in the box on the page. REPORTER will not change the aspect ratio of the image. By default the image will be placed centrally in the box and enlarged as much as possible to still fit in the box. The Justify buttons can be used to alter the justification in the box if necessary.

Alternatively if you do not want any output but just want to run PRIMER to create some other sort of output or run a JavaScript set the Type to Blank .
