Events
Synthia is notified of various events as they happen in SynthEyes, ranging from menu items being clicked and buttons being pushed to the selection changing or SynthEyes being minimized ( rules producing an eventtype).
Synthia can automatically react to those events to help out. For example, the standard ground rule
define "process syntheyes hidden event" means "hide synthia".
makes Synthia hide itself when it notices that SynthEyes has been hidden (minimized).
There can be many rules for the same event; they are run in order based on precedence, though terminate event processing will stop processing of further rules for a given event.
Synthia procedures can also wait for various events in SynthEyes. The procedure to name the clicked tracker a name in the procedures section shows an example of that.
Exercise: say the number of selected trackers when the selection changes.
