gksdat

Introduced in the 1994 ANSI GKS - M[UMPS] language binding.

This metalanguage symbol represents a data record. This entity can be any expression.

gksenum

Introduced in the 1994 ANSI GKS - M[UMPS] language binding.

This metalanguage symbol represents an entity that has one out of a number of possible values (an enumerated list of possible values). This entity can be any expression.

gksfile

Introduced in the 1994 ANSI GKS - M[UMPS] language binding.

This metalanguage symbol represents the name of a file. This entity can be any expression.

gksint

Introduced in the 1994 ANSI GKS - M[UMPS] language binding.

This metalanguage symbol represents an integer number that is bounded by constraints within the GKS standard.This entity can be the integer interpretation of any expression.

gksnam

Introduced in the 1994 ANSI GKS - M[UMPS] language binding.

This metalanguage symbol represents a name that matches constraints as specified within the GKS standard. This entity can be any expression.

gksnum

Introduced in the 1994 ANSI GKS - M[UMPS] language binding.

This metalanguage symbol represents a number that is bounded by constraints within the GKS standard.This entity can be the numeric interpretation of any expression.

gksplst

Introduced in the 1994 ANSI GKS - M[UMPS] language binding.

This metalanguage symbol represents a list of points (separated by commas). A point is represented by a list of integer numbers (separated by commas). Since the GKS processor knows which type of coordinates is being used (two-dimensional or three-dimensional), there is no ambiguity about which commas separate coordinates, and which commas separate points.

gkspnt

Introduced in the 1994 ANSI GKS - M[UMPS] language binding.

This metalanguage symbol represents a point. A point is represented by a list of integer numbers (separated by commas). The number of values depends on the projection space (two-dimensional, three-dimensional) that is currently being used.

gksstr

Introduced in the 1994 ANSI GKS - M[UMPS] language binding.

This metalanguage symbol represents an expression; the value of this expression is not restricted to be anything specific.

M

Introduced in the 1994 ANSI GKS - M[UMPS] language binding.

This metalanguage symbol represents an array of which the elements meet a certain constraint.

v1 ::= M gksnam means: an array v1(1),v1(2),v1(3), ... of which the elements each contain a value that evaluates to a name that meets the constraints specified in the GKS standard.
