Introduction
------------
This file contains additional Brilliance documentation. At present it
contains only tool types descriptions.
Tool Types
----------
This section describes the tool types used by Brilliance, their load and
save behavior, ranges, and default settings.
Please note that all tool types are to be typed as shown. Uppercase and
lowercase letters are significant and must be used as per the examples.
Any unknown or unsupported tool types entered will be ignored. The order
in which they appear is not important.
Syntax:
M..N Used to describe a range of numbers from which to choose
a number from. (e.g. 3..14 describes a range from 3 to 14
inclusive) Any number chosen within the specified range
is valid.
item1|item2... Used to denote a list of items from which exactly one item
may be chosen. (e.g. Red|Green|Blue is a list from which a
user may select Red, Green or Blue as a valid choice)
<item> Describes a spot were the labeled item is to be placed.
(e.g. <license> - put the license number at this location)
{<item>} Replace with any number of things suitable for <item>
separated by spaces. (e.g. {<animal>} might be replaced
by: cat dog bird horse pig)
= Used as a separator between the tool type name and its value
or attribute. It is used after the last letter of the tool
type name and the first character of its value.
