Extended Definition:

1. The name of the radio box to be created is specified initially. If parameter ‘Enabled’ is set to ON, the radio box button will be preactivated.
2. The pop-up help and documentation help can be specified in appropriate dialog boxes.
3. The size of the radio box can be specified either in terms of number of pixels. Alternatively, the size can also be stated as relative to the Adams window
4. The vertical and horizontal resizing options are used to adjust the placement of the radio box on existing dialog box. For example, attach_left; attach_top options for Horiz_resizing and Vert_resizing will place the radio box on the top left corner of the dialog box. The location can also be specified from the top left corner by adjusting the parameter ‘location’.
5. The size of the radio box window can be specified with respect to the Adams window size. The value for parameter height and width should be a real number between 0.0 and 2.0, where 2.0 represents the height of the Adams View window. Therefore, a value of 1.0 will set the button window to be one half as high as the Adams View window.
6. The parameter ‘command’ specifies the name of the command to be executed when the radio box is clicked. If multiple commands are entered then the command to be executed is decided by the parameter ‘choice’. Alternatively, the values specifies the real values to be stored in the result set component, The values can be a list of numbers, or an expression referencing an array of existing values. The ‘current choice’ parameter decides the default value for the radio box from the choices offered.
