<note important>
These functions are not available anymore in Metafor version greater than 2422.</note>

Parameters are defined using prefixed codes ''MDE'' (integer) and ''MDR'' (real).

===== Integer parameters =====

All integer parameters used in Metafor are listed here. These parameters are remains of the old [[doc:user:general:glossaire#Fortran]] version of Metafor.

===== Real parameters =====


All real parameters used in Metafor are listed here. These parameters are remains of the old [[doc:user:general:glossaire#Fortran]] version of Metafor. Ideally, each option should be included in a class.
