Whereas the Recipe
to Formula environment focuses on the creation and manipulation
of recipes, the Formula to Recipe environment focuses on the unity
formula.
In the Formula

- unity formula
may be manipulated and then used as a basis for creating a new
recipes.
- glazes may
be "designed" by entering new formulae and creating
a recipes based on the new formulae.
- material
substitutions can be made in a matter of seconds without altering
a recipe's formula in any way.
- the maturing
range of a glaze may be altered using formula manipulation followed
by the creation of a new recipe.
- multiple
recipes can be created all of which have the same formula but
use different materials.

Operating
in the Formula to Recipe Environment
Creating new
recipes from formula can be a demanding task but it is made easier
through the new options offered in Matrix V5. In all operations
involving the manipulation of either recipes or formula a thorough
knowledge of raw materials is a great advantage if not essential.
If your are
manipulating a recipe to achieve particular qualities a knowledge
of the properties of the oxides is also essential.
