GeoDict offers great automation possibilities to enhance productivity in the form of GeoApps. All steps done in GeoDict are recorded in macros. The GeoApp menu in GeoDict gives access to several pre-defined macros for workflows that are often requested. Additionally, you can add own recorded and edited parameter macros to create custom GeoApps for frequent workflows.

The GeoApp menu in the menu bar gives access to many GeoApps, grouped into Shared GeoApps and My GeoApps.

The GeoApps delivered with GeoDict are described shortly in the following. Please ask support@math2market.de if you want to know more details about the specific parameters used in theses apps and the functionality they provide.

Run Modules specific GeoApps for several modules, which can also be found in the corresponding module sections.

The Shared GeoApps are groups of apps delivered with GeoDict and, later, apps that you create or modify to be shared with your colleagues.

Under My GeoApps is an example GeoApp provided by Math2Market and, later, the local GeoApps you created for your private use. The My GeoApps are placed in the GeoDict settings folder.

Selecting one of the GeoApps groups opens the corresponding GeoApp module section, located left of the visualization area. It contains a pull-down menu listing the available GeoApps for this particular GeoApp group.

GeoDict macros corresponding to the simulations are called and executed when the GeoApps are run. These macros are available in the GeoApp folder in the GeoDict installation folder. GeoApps may be opened with a text editor, to observe their syntax and the steps involved in the simulation.

When selecting one of the available GeoApps, the description area displays a report about the app. In the corresponding GeoPy script, this report content can be found inside the apostrophes after Description = ''' '''. For the 3D-Image Report.py app from the GeoApp module General → Report and Image, the text in the macro and the description area is shown above.

Click the Options’ Edit … button to edit the parameters of the macro.

By clicking Open Macro / Script File, the macro file containing all steps for the app simulations can be accessed in a text editor. For detailed information about GeoPy and editing GeoDict macros refer to the GeoPy scripting user guide.

After setting the input parameters for the selected GeoApp, clicking Run starts the execution.
