Add Grain GeoApps

During the creation of predefined materials, the corresponding GeoDict macros are called and executed. These macros can be accessed through the Open Macro-File button; alternatively, they are available in the GrainGeo folder inside the GeoApps folder of the GeoDict installation folder. They can be opened with a text editor to check or edit the syntax of the generation steps. To learn how to add GeoApps, refer to the GeoApp handbook.
