Conventions Used in PV-WAVE Manuals
You will find the following conventions used throughout this manual:
Code examples appear
in this typeface. For example:
PLOT, temp, s02, Title = 'Air Quality'
Variables are shown in lowercase italics (
myvar), function and procedure names are shown in uppercase (XYOUTS), keywords are shown in mixed case italic (
XTitle), and system variables are shown in regular mixed case type (!Version). For better readability, all GUI development routines are shown in mixed case (WwMainMenu).
A
$ at the end of a line of PV‑WAVE code indicates that the current statement is continued on the following line. By convention, use of the continuation character (
$) in this document reflects its syntactically correct use in PV‑WAVE. This means, for instance, that
strings are never split onto two lines without the addition of the string concatenation operator (+). For example, the following lines would produce an error if entered literally in PV‑WAVE.
WAVE> PLOT, x, y, Title = 'Average $
Air Temperatures by Two-Hour Periods'
The correct way to enter these lines is:
WAVE> PLOT, x, y, Title = 'Average ' + $
'Air Temperatures by Two-Hour Periods'
Reserved words such as FOR, IF, CASE, are always shown in uppercase.
