Layers and Workspace

ProXimus deals with material on two levels, the layer level, and the workspace level. the layer level is everything to do with one layer (the type, the script and which variables are assigned to which color channel), the workspace level is basically a list of layers.

when you save a layer to file it will save two files, one file (the lyr file) will be a full scrip defining the layer, the other file (the img file) will be an image file which saves uncompressed image data saving both the visible portions (real component between 0 and 1) and invisible parts (imaginary component and less than 0 and greater than 1 real component). loading a lyr file will add a new layer with the appropriate code and settings and it will have the last evaluated image before that lyr file was saved loaded into the image pane.

when you save a workspace all layers will be saved in subfolders of the directory you chose to save the workspace in, one wks file will be made which lists the locations of all lyr files. when you load a workspace the current workspace will be destroyed and all layers listed in the wks file will be loaded,
