Introduction

The choose_file GUI is used to select and open input files. It contains the following three lines: If you are already in the desired directory then the spinbox may be all you need. The file selection dialog GUI can be used to select both the directory and the file. The directory (folder) selection dialog GUI is useful when the directory contains many files matching the filter.

The choose_file GUI is defined by the file choose_file.tcl.
