In Search Of: Documentation / Syntax / Parameters :(

Post by kalimonster »

Please don't get me wrong. This software makes me weak in the knees. I've been playing with it every day since I found the site last week. It's enough to make a girl giggle and clap her hands in delight.

Where exactly does one find a more thorough and informative documentation, though?

The documentation in its current form blocks out the basic structure of a CFDG file, and then cheerfully neglects to list the possible parameters -- and the ones lucky enough to be listed by way of sample code are unhelpfully abbreviated to single letters. :(

From checking the forums, this has been asked for several times over the last couple years, and so I'm hoping someone has created a 'cheat sheet' for themselves in the interim, and is willing to share.

Thanks in advance for any assistance. :)

The page I think you are looking for is called Shape Adjustments and outlines the modifications that you can apply to a rule.

I admit that the documentation leaves quite a bit to be desired.... It is in a wiki and we would love to folks to improve it. Technical writing is neither John's nor my strong suit (obviously!)
I'm the "m" in "mtree.cfdg"

Eh, part of it is that I wrote this in frustration when I probably should have slept on it a night, too. Apologies for that. :oops:

I found most of the 'missing' parameters on the page you suggested, and the rest were hiding in the 2.2beta.

Thanks for the reply. :)
