cubelength = DefineNumber[ newcubelength, Name "Parameters/cubelength" ];
will assign the default value newcubelength to cubelength if the ONELAB
parameter "Parameters/cubelength" does not exist. If "Parameters/cubelength"
exists in the ONELAB database, it will use that value.
This is the mechanism that allows you to modifiy the value associated to
"Parameters/cubelength" externally (in the GUI, in other ONELAB clients), and
have Gmsh use the updated value later.
If the script must have precedence over other clients, i.e. if the script
should always assign the value of the ONELAB parameter, you can mark the
parameter as "ReadOnly" :
cubelength = DefineNumber[ newcubelength, Name "Parameters/cubelength",
ReadOnly];
