INCLUDE
- Workspace.INCLUDE(self: pyarts.arts._Workspace, verbosity: pyarts.arts.WorkspaceVariable | pyarts.arts.Verbosity | None = self.verbosity) None
Includes the contents of another controlfile.
The INCLUDE statement inserts the contents of the controlfile with the given name into the current controlfile. If the filename is given without path information, ARTS will first search for the file in all directories specified with the -I (see arts -h) commandline option and then in directories given in the environment variable ARTS_INCLUDE_PATH. In the environment variable multiple paths have to be separated by colons.
Note that INCLUDE is not a workspace method and thus the syntax is different:
Arts { INCLUDE "agendas.arts" }
Includes can also be nested. In the example above agendas.arts can contain further includes which will then be treated the same way.
The idea behind this mechanism is that you can write common settings for a bunch of calculations into one file. Then, you can create several controlfiles which include the basic settings and tweak them for different cases. When you decide to make changes to your setup that should apply to all calculations, you only have to make a single change in the include file instead of modifying all your controlfiles.
