Descriptions for all of the Animator directives appear alphabetically.
Each description contains the following entries.
Directive: DIRECTIVE-NAME
Function: Gives a brief description of the function of
DIRECTIVE-NAME.
Syntax:
►►─┬───┬─┬───────DIRECTIVE-NAME─"parameter(s)"┬─►◄
└─/─┘ └┬────┬─DIRECTIVE-NAME───────────────┘
└─NO─┘
The syntax of the Animator directives is shown using diagrams
called "railroad tracks", in which a directive and its parameters
are shown joined by lines indicating the order in which they should
be written. You read these diagrams left-to-right. Each diagram
starts with ►► and ends with ►◄. Sometimes the track forks to
show alternatives and then joins up again. The length of a track
has no significance.
Parameters for directives are shown in quotation marks, although
parentheses can be used instead, unless otherwise stated. When
quotation marks are used the parameter can contain spaces, whereas
no spaces are allowed in a parameter surrounded by parentheses. If
a parameter is specified after a comma, but the file-name is omitted,
then the directive must be preceded by a slash (/). Otherwise, the
directive will incorrectly be assumed to be a file-name.
Paramters: Lists and describes valid parameter(s), if any, for
the directive.
Default: Indicates the directive's default setting
On the button bar is a button to toggle between Summary and Details.
The Details describe the parameters fully and give additional
information. If this is not needed the Details topic is blank.
