25.3 Attractor basin complete options.

When the attractor basin is complete, or if it was abandoned by interrupting in #25.1 (or options are selected at the pause prompt, #19.7), the following options are presented in a top left window.

graphic-g, image: print/save/load-p/s/l, options-o

toggle: single-field-t STP-P Seed-S (``S'' for single basins or subtrees only)

network: view/revise/learn-n, back-q, cont-ret:

Enter ``return'' to generate the next ``mutant`` attractor basin (see #21), ``q'' to backtrack, or select other options to do the following, (enter ``o'' for a range of further rules or seed options). Once the options are complete, the program generally returns to the prompt at #25.3 above.

``g'' to change the graphics setup between VGA(640x480) and SVGA(1024x768), or to change the background color between white and black (see #5.2).

``p'' to print the graphics screen to a printer (see #A4. for printer limitations).

``s'' to save the graphics screen to a ``*.nat`` file (see ``filing'' #28).

``l'' to load a graphics image file to the screen (see ``filing'' #28).

``t'' to toggle between a single basin and the basin of attraction field. The prompt sequence will revert to selecting the seed (#15) or the first presentation parameters prompt (#16.1). Note that the ``layout'' defaults may need to be reset.

``P'' to toggle between showing and not showing ``backwards'' space-time patterns (see #17.6).

``S'' to reset the seed, for single basins or subtrees only. A central lower window opens up, with prompts as in #15.

``n'' to see and revise the network parameters by invoking the ``Reviewing wiring/rules'' routine described in #14. The ``learning/forgetting'' routine for attaching/detaching sets of states as pre-images of a target state may also be invoked, described in #27).

``o'' to open up a range of further options described #25.4 below.
