In addition to attaching glaze images to recipe files Matrix will attach a text file of unlimited length to a recipe file. This facility allows you to develop extensive notes about your work with a particular recipe. It can include information which has no place in the recipe file itself.

Glaze text files can be developed inside Matrix using the simple built in text editor.

Opening a Recipe's Text Editor

When a recipe is displayed in a recipe panel the text file for that recipe can be displayed in a text editor by clicking the button in the toolbar below the recipe. Outside of Matrix the textfile can be opened using Word Pad or a similar text editor.

Loading the Contents of the Recipe File into the Text Editor

When a recipe is displayed on screen the recipe can be pasted into the text editor using the menu item shown in Fig.2 below

Fig.2 Text Editor with the Recipe Displayed.

In the text editor the recipe data can be reformated and added to or reduced. Changes in the text editor will not effect the original recipe file. In future when the recipe is loaded again in Matrix the text file can be displayed by clicking the button on the tool bar. If you delete the recipe that this text file is associated with using the Delete Recipe in Active Panel item in the Recipe to Formula menu then the text file will also be deleted.
