However in the following examples neither the Enter key sign nor the
semicolon are shown, since all of these commands can be used both on
thecommandlineandwithinscriptfiles.
BoldTypeorUpperCase
Commands and parameters shown here in UPPER CASE are entered
directly. When they are entered, there is no distinction made between
upperandlowercase.Forexample:
Syntax:
GRIDLINES
Input:
GRIDLINES
gridlines
LowerCase
Parameters shown here in lower case are to be replaced by names, num
-
bersorkeywords.Forexample:
Syntax:
GRIDgrid_sizegrid_multiple
Input:
GRID110
This sets the grid to 1 mm (assuming that the current unit is set to mm).
Every tenth grid line is visible. The figures 1 and 10 are placed into the
commandinsteadoftheplaceholders grid_size and grid_multiple.
Underscore
In the names of parameters and keywords the underscore sign is often
used in the interests of a clearer representation. Please do not confuse it
with an empty space. As can be seen in the example above, grid_size is a
singleparameter,asis grid_multiple.
If a keyword contains an underscore sign, such as COLOR_LAYER
doesinthecommand
SETCOLOR_LAYERlayer_namecolor_word
thenthecharacteristobetypedinjustlikeanyother.Forexample:
SETCOLOR_LAYERBOTTOMBLUE
