The basic format for all text files used by MotionSampler is block-structured text.
Statements are single-line commands in the following form:
command <parameter1> <parameter2> ...
Block delimiters are used to surround groups of statements or other blocks as follows:
begin <blockname> <parameter1> <parameter2> ... command <parameter1> <parameter2> ... command <parameter1> <parameter2> ... ... begin <blockname> <parameter1> <parameter2> ... command <parameter1> <parameter2> ... command <parameter1> <parameter2> ... ... end <blockname> end <blockname>
Commands, keywords, and parameter arguments are separated by white space characters in much the same way as UNIX commands are parsed. If an argument contains spaces, surround the argument with double quotation marks (").
Lines of text that begin with a # character are treated as comments, but note that comments are removed when a file is loaded. Therefore, if you load a file containing comments and then immediately save it as a new file, there are no comments in the new file. Any text following the # is also removed, except where the # is embedded in a parameter argument. This prevents the Alias dag node naming convention from affecting the parsing of these commands. Therefore, the name "cluster#10" will be recognized for what it is.
