9.1.0 NTRANS
Loading pre-generated meta files from the $NTRANS_META directory is very easy. Begin by bringing up the Model Group windows clicking the right mouse button in the display window.
Ntrans Model Select

NTRANS creates a group button for each directory it finds, and lists the individual files for a given directory. For example, we store our meta files with graphics derived from the ETA model in a subdirectory called ETA. In the ETA subdirectory, we have one meta file, which appears in the text box beneath the subdirectory buttons when we choose ETA.

To select a file from the text box, simply click on it with the left mouse button. Ntrans opens the file and obtains the display groups which are present in the file, and lists them in the left window. To choose a group from the List of Groups in the display panel, click on the desired text line.

To display this group in the main window using the entire window area, use the panel structure that denotes a single window, and click the mouse on the button in the Load Panel section.

To display multiple groups, the panel structure can be chosen from one of the predefined options denoted by the icons, or customized using the number of Row and Columns required. Click on the appropriate button number in the Load Panel section to display the group in that region of the display panel.

If a group contains a series of images, such as when we generate loops from a display program, or the gouping has been set to display all panels at a given time, then the frames map be annimated using the directional controls at the top right of the control panel.
