FXDeko User’s Guide

An example of a real parameter is the input parameter of the sqrt (square
root) command:

sqrt input=

Integer

An integer parameter specifies a whole number value, either positive or
negative, e.g., 3, 12967, -14, 0, etc.

If you specify a real value for an integer parameter, FXDeko ignores the fractional
component.

An example of an integer parameter is the number parameter of the

select_style_preset

command, which sets the current style from the list

of preset styles:

select_style_preset [number=]

Switch

A switch parameter specifies a parameter that is either true or false. A true
parameter is either preceded by a hyphen (-) or followed by =1, while a false
parameter is either preceded by -no or followed by =0.

The following illustrates examples of the all switch parameter of the

tab_clear

command:

tab_clear -all

or

tab_clear all=1

tab_clear -noall

or

tab_clear all=0

String

A string parameter specifies one or more alphanumeric characters (e.g., a letter,
word or sentence).

A string that contains spaces or non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed
in quotation marks.

A typical string parameter is the name parameter of the file_open command,
which opens the file specified by name:

file_open name=

For example, to open the file named “my file”, the value of the parameter would
be the string, “my file”:

file_open “my file”

Choice

A choice parameter specifies one item from a list of possible choices.

Both parameters of the justify command are choice parameters:

justify [horizontal=] [vertical=]

Possible choices for horizontal are: left, right, center, full,

spread

, off and unchanged; and for vertical: top, bottom,

center

, full, baseline, off and unchanged.
