Holding your cursor over or placing your cursor into an input field in a dialog displays a tool-tip showing the computed value of the entry or expression in the input field:
The value is computed based on the current value when in Edit Mode and the last value when in Result Mode (the final value of the final realization) and Run Mode (the last value calculated).
If you place your cursor on a link from another element and left-click, that link will be selected (and highlighted in italics), and the tool-tip will display the value just for that link (as opposed to the entire input field):
These kinds of tool-tips can be very useful when debugging and/or exploring models. Note that the icon for the link is also provided (identifying the element type).
Information regarding GoldSim’s built-in constants is also displayed in expressions via tool-tips:
If the input field is invalid for some reason, the tool-tip will display an appropriate error message:
If you start typing (or move the focus to another field), the tool-tip will disappear. If you stop typing, the tool-tip will reappear.
Note: You can control the
number of significant figures displayed in tool-tips from the Results tab
of the Options dialog (accessed via Model |Options… from the main
menu).
