HELP
An object that outputs a constant Real
number.  To input an array, press tab to
enter the next value.

USE
Use Real to set a real constant or to get
user input.

LOCATION
Data ==> Constant ==> Real

EXAMPLE
To use Real as a prompt on a panel view,
change the name of the Real object to a
prompt such as Enter the offset:.  The user
fills in the requested information in the
entry field.

Type in 100M*PI to have the Real Constant
evaluate this formula and display the Real
number answer.

OBJECT MENU
* Auto Execute - If set, the object operates
whenever the values in the field are edited.

* Config - Sets the initial number of values
to be output with this object.  A value of 0
sets the container to a scalar, otherwise the
container is an array of the length given.

* Initialize ==> - Used to set this object to a
particular value at PreRun and/or Activate
time.

  * Initial Value - A dialog box that
specifies the value to be set.  Default value
is the zero value of that container type.

  * Initialize At PreRun - Whether to set the
Initial Value at PreRun time.  Default is
off.

  * Initialize At Activate - Whether to set
the Initial Value at Activate time.  Default
is off.

* Number Formats - Sets the numeric format.

NOTES
Initialize is most often used for
initializing values inside a UserObject.

The other method for setting initial
values is the Default Value control pin.  The
Default Value pin allows you to
programmatically change the current value.

Note that the Initial Value field is
always a scalar, even if Real is configured
to be an array.  The Default Value input pin,
however, requires its input container to
match the shape of Real.
