[erlang-questions] A function as an element of a list of action

[Erik Søe Sørensen]

I think (though I'm not sure) I understand what you're trying to do.
If I'm completely off track, perhaps you could be more concrete in your
example - especially wrt. what the output should be?

If I understand correctly,
- having Lc be a dict is a bad idea - if you want to preserve the order of
the commands. Use a list instead:

Lc = lists:map(fun({density,{true,Value}}, Dict) -> ... end, Lf)

- You don't use Value. Where should it be used? I presume it should somehow
be part of the context of the inner funs.

I think what you want could be something like:
Lc = % List of command functions
    lists:map(fun({density,{true,Value}}, Dict) ->
                  [fun(Dict) ->
                  Dict0=dict:store(top, calc_top(Value), Dict);
                  Dict1=dict:store(bottom, calc_bottom(Value), Dict0);
                  dict:store(side, calc_side(Value, Dict1)
                  end];
                  ...
              end,
              Lf),
...
lists:foldl(fun(F,P) -> F(P) end, Params0, Lc)

(Not tested!)
Hoping this helps (which depends heavily of how well I understood your
problem),
