Category:Typescript Commands

Typescript command may be used from:

• The typescript window in Analytica. Press CTRL-' to open.
• Button scripts. (In buttons and pictures nodes)
• From ADE, using CAEngine::Commmand / CAEngine::Send
• From the EvaluateScript function.

Typescript commands are availble from the Analyica typescript window (opened using CTRL-'), from scripts in button, picture or text objects, from the EvaluateScript function, and from ADE using CAEngine::Command/CAEngine::Send. This page lists and briefly describes existing typescript commands. Insert links to more detailed information where applicable. See also the Analytica Scripting Guide (or PDF version)

Typescript commands may be used from a button script or from the typescript window in Analytica, or from ADE using CAEngine:Command/CAEngine::Send.

Beware that typescript commands are somewhat of a "hidden" feature in Analytica, and with a few exceptions, are not something we expect average users to be using. Many exist from Demos legacy days (back in the 1980's precursor to Analytica, based on a command-line user interface) and some may no longer be functional (you'll find those listed in Deprecated Commands. We may clean up non-functional commands in the future, but we approach this a bit conservatively since we also want to preserve backward compatibility.

You can also evaluate expressions in typescript or button scripts. If there is an ambiguity between typescript and buttonscript, surround the expression with parens, and it will be interpreted as an expression
