Recipes saved
in a recipe database file may be retrieved into an active recipe
panel by clicking on the button
in the Recipe to Formula environment.
This opens the
Recipe Database Selection dialog (Fig.1) displaying the contents
of the default recipe database (in this case Otago Poly Glazes).
Double click on the recipe you wish to load and it will be displayed
in the active recipe panel.
Before committing
to loading the recipe you can scroll through the recipes in the
list looking at their images (if they have had one attached) or
viewing the recipe and formula for the highlighted glaze.

This is
the formula display available in the Load Recipe Database
dialog.
To display
Kelvins Teadust formula stored in the database I clicked the
Show Formula Only button.
Matrix
is not recalculating the recipe to obtain this formula. It
is displaying the formula which was generated and saved when
Kelvins Teadust was last worked with in Matrix.
Fig 3
shows both formula and recipe for the highlighted glaze.

Another Recipe Database
So far we have
shown various options for the default recipe database list. If you
want to access another recipe database list then click the Show
Database List button. This
adds another panel on the left of the selection dialog (Fig.4) Click
on a recipe database name to load its contents in the glaze names
list.

If you
happen to have recipe databases saved in a location other
than the recommended folder then click the Change
Database Folder button to access them.
It is
recommended that all recipe databases be stored in the Recipe
Databases folder.
