PennController.FooterGlobal Commands

PennController.Footer( sequenceOfCommands ) (since beta 0.3)

Will append sequenceOfCommands to the end of the sequence of commands of each trial created with PennController.

Example:

Footer(
    newText("validation instructions", "Click to go to next trial")
        .print()
    ,
    newButton("validation button", "Validate")
        .print()
        .wait()
);

newTrial(
    newText("test sentence", "The cat chases the mouse")
        .print()
    ,
    newScale("natural", 5)
        .settings.slider()
        .settings.before( newText("left", "Unnatural") )
        .settings.after(  newText("right", "Natural")  )
        .print()
);

Footer( newText("validation instructions", "Click to go to next trial") .print() , newButton("validation button", "Validate") .print() .wait() ); newTrial( newText("test sentence", "The cat chases the mouse") .print() , newScale("natural", 5) .settings.slider() .settings.before( newText("left", "Unnatural") ) .settings.after( newText("right", "Natural") ) .print() );

Without the footer, the trial defined above would be validated immediately after it has started running, since it includes no wait command. Thankfully, the footer adds a button at the bottom of the page that must be clicked for validation.
