3.3.2 Forms of references

References to defined names are enclosed in bracketing delimiters. The delimiter characters imply the type of the associated value as shown in the table below. A type error is raised if the type of a reference does not match the type of the defined value. The intent of this mechanism is, again, to make sketch input files more readable.

Type Reference
scalar id
point (id)
vector [id]
transform [[id]]
drawable {id}
options [id] or [id1,...,idN]
tag <id>


Note that square brackets [ ] are used both for vector and for options references. Details of sketch syntax make it impossible for these two reference types to be confused. The special multiple reference [id1,id2,...,idN] acts as if the respective lists of options were concatenated.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
