About the Algorithm Librarian

The Focus Algorithm Librarian contains a set of algorithms, which you use to perform various functions, including, but not limited to:

Working with bitmaps, images, and vectors
Performing analysis, classification, or processing
Running data-interchange tasks
Generating reports
Performing utility tasks

Note: The number of algorithms available to you depends on the terms of your CATALYST Professional software license. For more information, see About available and unavailable algorithms.

You open, search for, and organize algorithms in the Algorithm Librarian window. The window features a navigation pane, showing a "tree view" of the folders that comprise the library. Folders in the window are organized by category, and include:

Favorites list, to which you can add algorithms you use frequently
Recently Used folder, which automatically tracks the last 10 algorithms used in previous sessions
New folder, which contains the algorithms new to CATALYST Professional
Algorithm Library, which contains folders of algorithms organized by category

Under Algorithm Library, each folder contains algorithms or additional folders of algorithms. These include:

All Algorithms
All Bitmap Algorithms
All Image Algorithms
All Vector Algorithms
CATALYST Professional
Analysis
Classification
Data Interchange
Image Correction
Image Processing
Radar Analysis
Spatial Analysis
Utilities

The algorithms in each folder are organized alphabetically.

Note: You can neither add, remove, nor rename any predefined folders nor the contents of each.

You can also choose to hide or show specific folders, as necessary.

The Algorithm Librarian window features a preview window, which displays an icon representing the function of the selected algorithm.

Tip: You can double-click the icon to open a selected algorithm.
