MAKFRM

Adds new frames to a McIDAS-X session.

Format

MAKFRM nframe line ele

Parameters

nframe	number of frames to add; the range is 1 to 500
line	number of lines; the range is 1 to 100,000 (default=number of lines in current frame)
ele	number of elements; the range is 1 to 100,000 (default=number of elements in current frame)

Remarks

You can add new frames to a session only if you allocate memory for additional frames by specifying the -e flag at startup or in your .mcidasrc file.

If you run MAKFRM without any parameters, it lists the amount of memory available for adding new frames.

McIDAS-X allows up to 9,999 frames in each session. The amount of memory required to add a new frame is slightly more than the number of lines times the number of elements. The figure is slightly higher because additional memory is required for enhancements, stretch tables, graphics tables, etc. See A Note About Memory for more information about memory usage in McIDAS-X.

When you add new frames, they are appended to the end of the current frame list. They are not added to the current loop bounds. Use the LS command to add them to the current loop. If the new frames are a different size and you display them using SF, A, or B, use the R command to resize the Image Window to the size of the frames.
