[proFit-list] Batch plotting of vector field plots by script

[pro Fit support]

I addition to what Dave just said, it's worth noting that pro Fit does have built-in capability to save movie frames into an assembled movie file, which you may find useful instead of having to save a bunch of images to be assembled by ImageJ. The thing to look for is "SaveSimpleFunctionMovie" example that comes with pro Fit.

To get you started with that, use pro Fit recording function from either a script window within pro Fit (hit the recording button in the toolbar of the window) or from AppleScript Editor (again, hit the recording button from the toolbar of the AppleScript Editor window). Once you have started recording, create a plot "by hand" from within pro Fit, and the corresponding scripting commands (in Python or AppleScript) are recorded automatically.
