The Wait
command holds a running macro for a given number of screen update cycles
(Unit='Cycles', the default), a given real life time (Unit='Seconds'), a given simulation time
(Unit='Femtoseconds') or until some special events take place (which are explained in the examples below).
If Wait is used with the default unit
'screen update cycles' during a simulation, it depends on the current TimeStep
and the number of simulation steps per screen update
how long the command will actually wait in terms of simulation time. That is why
the unit 'Femtoseconds' should be used for waits during a simulation.
Requests to wait for clicks on buttons are ignored when YASARA is run without graphics.
Example 1:
Wait 500
Wait for 500 screen update cycles, then continue.
Example 2:
Wait 200,Unit=Seconds
Wait for 200 macrocosmic real life seconds.
Example 3:
Wait 200,Unit=Femtoseconds
Wait for 200 microcosmic femtoseconds during a molecular dynamics simulation.
Example 4:
Wait Forever
Wait forever or until the user opens the console by pressing
<SPACE>.
Example 5:
Wait ExpEnd
Wait until the current experiment ends.
Example 6:
Wait SpeedMax<2000
Wait until the speed of the fastest atom drops below 2000 m/s.
Example 7:
Wait Button
Wait until the user presses a mouse button.
Example 8:
Wait LeftButton
Wait until the user presses the left mouse button.
Example 9:
Wait ContinueButton
Show a continue button and wait until the user clicks on it.
Example 10:
Wait MarkedAtom
Wait until the user clicks on an atom. The number of the atom can then be obtained with the
'MarkAtom' command.
Example 11:
Wait MarkedDistance
Wait until the user clicks on two atoms to mark a distance. The numbers of the atoms can then be obtained with the
'MarkAtom' command.
Example 12:
Wait MarkedAngle
Wait until the user clicks on three atoms to mark an angle. The numbers of the atoms can then be obtained with the
'MarkAtom' command.
Example 13:
Wait MarkedDihedral
Wait until the user clicks on four atoms to mark a dihedral. The numbers of the atoms can then be obtained with the
'MarkAtom' command.
