Structures

A structure in VectorScript is a collection of one or more variables which are grouped together under a single identifier for convenient handling. Structures help to organize complex data into groupings that may be treated as a single “unit” instead of separate entities.

The standard Pascal term for this type of construct is record. To avoid possible conflicts and confusion with other VectorWorks or VectorScript features, VectorScript refers to this construct as a structure.

The variables contained within a structure are known as the members of the structure. These variables may be of any fundamental type found in VectorScript. Static and CHAR arrays are also supported as structure members, as are other structures (which are known as nested structures). Dynamic arrays are not supported in structures.
