Optimization: Graphs should allow to specify more parameters

Hi,

if a omptmization contains more than two parameters it would be a nice feature to be able to specify the other parameters when looking at 1 or 2 parameter graphs.
Showing the graph for p1 and p2 in a 2 parameter graph, I cannot figure out what the value of p3 is for that particular graph.
In WLD3 one could specify the values of the other parameters.

I feel rather foolish about not knowing this until just now, but the feature is not only there, it's much better than before. By adjusting the sliders, you can configure all the optimization parameters to see their contribution to the 2-Parameter Exhaustive graph. Give it try :)

That really sounds cool. I will try it tomorrow.
So, this is a hint that it is not good enough documented.

I have tried it and it works.
However, I have on thing to add: when teh optimozation range differs from the range that was set in the code for certain parameters, I can change the sliders after the optimization with parameter values that acutally weren´t used in optimization, i.e.:
maLength is set in code from 5-200.
Optimization was run from 50-70. When looking at the graphs I can change the sliders to 200 anyway, which does not make sense now.

You're gaming the system. What do you expect? If you change the range of the sliders only for the optimization (not applied to code), when looking at the results you have to know not to change the parameter outside the range that you tested. Doesn't it seem reasonable?

Cone, it was just something I noticed when I tried the sliders. No big deal.
