Functions

Introduction

Functions are not just mathematical operations. They can also be logical operations or highly specific operations on graphical objects. To see what a function does, just select it in the Smart Expression Editor and a description will be displayed on the right:

How to add more arguments to a function

We call the sub-properties, variables or static values that are used within a function arguments.

So in this example...

MULT(text1.height, 0.05)

... "text1.height" and "0.05" are the arguments of the MULT-function (multiplication). In the written form, it is easy to add another argument: just type a new comma after 0.05 and then the new argument. However, in the clickable form of the Smart Expression Editor, you can only work on existing arguments (i.e. update them). To add a new argument, you therefore have to right-click on an argument and then click on “duplicate”. The duplicated argument can be updated to a new value or a new building block.
