Field Settings in defaults

Scalar Field Variables

This table lists the default settings for scalar qtcm fields as set by the defaults submodule. All fields are of class Field. Numerical values are rounded as per the conventions of Python's %g format code. To create a Field instance whose value is set to the default, instantiate with the field id as the argument
