Here is the complete list of standard node outlines that may be given
to the @Code "@Node" symbol. Each shows the outline name, any extra
options relevant to this outline, base (shown as a grey
box), segments (shown using {@Code "outlinestyle { solid dashed }"}),
tags, and directions (shown as a thick arrowhead wherever defined):

Here is the complete list of standard link paths that may be given
to the @Code "@Link" symbol. Each entry shows the link path name,
any extra options relevant to this path, segments (shown using
{@Code "outlinestyle { solid dashed }"}, and tags. All tags
have directions pointing along the link from @Code FROM to
{@Code TO}; these have been omitted for clarity. The @Code frompt
and @Code topt options of @Code bezier are compulsory and denote the
two control points (Section {@NumberOf dia_defi}).

@DP
A length is represented in PostScript by a single number on the operand
stack; so is an angle. Therefore all number operations can be applied
to lengths and angles as well, but the results will not always be
useful. For example, rounding a length to the nearest integer is
not a useful thing to do because the result depends on the basic unit
(what does 1 equal as a length?) which is implementation-dependent and
genuinely subject to change. Rounding the @I ratio of two lengths does
make sense. The above is an attempt to list only the useful operations;
but if you really need the logarithm of an angle, you can have it.
@PP
Angles are a little more amenable to this kind of thing because they are
always measured in degrees. However, angles suffer from the problem that
{@Code 0d} is really the same angle as {@Code 360d}. For this reason,
separate equality and inequality operators for angles are provided which
ignore multiples of {@Code 360d}, and less than and similar relations
are not defined for angles, because they inherently are not well
defined. See also the @Code anglefix symbol above.
@PP
A point is represented by two lengths (which are numbers) on the
stack. Those familiar with PostScript and willing to sacrifice portability
and increase their risk of error can therefore write, for example,
@OneCol { @I point @Code "exch" } to obtain the reflection of a point about
the main diagonal, and so on.
@PP
The following may have a result of any type, depending on
their options. The options and result may be a
sequence of things as required in shapes, including @Code "[]" and
so forth.

The @Code "if" symbol returns @Code "then" or @Code "else" depending on
the value of {@Code "cond"}, and @Code "signcase" returns {@Code "neg"},
{@Code zero}, or {@Code pos} depending on whether @I number (which
may also be an angle or a length) is negative, zero, or positive. The
@Code "quadcase" symbol decides whether the given angle points in
one of the four horizontal or vertical directions, or into the quadrants
between them, and returns the appropriate option. Don't be misled by
the unorthodox option names; it is not possible to give your own
ranges, only these ones.
@PP
The loops return a sequence of
repetitions of {@I anything}; any occurrences of {@Code x} in
{@Code xloop} will be replaced by the current value of the loop counter,
and similarly for the other loops.
