Description

Some notes by Kasper:

TODO: DATA TYPES

  • review the data type names, the relations between things and consider how it all works best with the TS browser.
  • Consistent data types... [value] / ->[properties]

Formats:

[datatype] - for a value string, possibly with properties if found, e.g. cObject
    Example:     int

[datatype] / ->[object] - "object" can be a) any of the "functions" or b) a content objects name.
    Example:    int / ->stdWrap
    Example:    ->stdWrap

"string"  - adhoc datatype obvious from the content of the quoted string
    Example:     "x,y,z" 

'[list of]' + datatype    - a comma list of values for the data type, normally with no space between.
    Example:     [list of] int

[datatype] '(.....)' - additional information to the data type, like a range for values.
    Example:     int (1-100)
    Example:    string (divided by "|")

[datatype] '[or]' [datatype]
    Example:    boolean [or] string

'[array of strings]' + datatype - 
    Example:     [array of strings]
'[array of]' + datatype -

History

Updated by Chris topher about 2 years ago

I think that there at least was an inconsistency in the section on GIFBUILDER objects (EFFECT and the following).

Updated by Francois Suter about 2 years ago

The migration to DocBook will be an excellent opportunity to check all inconsistencies, as we will need to be very strict for the cross-linking to work properly.

Updated by Chris topher 6 months ago

I generally unified the names of the data types as part of #43931; inside the chapter "GIFBUILDER" with #26526.

The notes above might be useful somehow, if one wants to improve the texts in the section on data types.
