LABEL arrow | data label create arrow |
LABEL delete | data label delete |
LABEL end | data label create end |
LABEL text | data label create text |
LABEL x y z | data label create position |
the first four above optionally take an index with the “id” keyword (i.e., LABEL id 1 arrow), | in which case the corresponding translation is data label create name "1" arrow, where the index is now a string (that may be a numeral) |
SCALAR add | data scalar create |
TENSOR add | data tensor create |
VECTOR add | data vector create |
for the three above, the “import”, “export”, and “remove” keywords will follow the same pattern as “add” | with comparable translations (e.g., “SCALAR remove” will be data scalar delete ), though note that “remove” becomes “delete” in 6.0 as seen in this example (“import” and “export” are used in both 5.0 and 6.0 syntax) |
