Attribute data types

Type	Syntax	Examples and details
identifier	Any alphanumeric or '_' character, without space.	'myControl', 'slider1','param_slider' 'my Control' or 'my-control' are invalid identifiers. For compatibility with scripting, start id with a letter (not with a digit).
string	Any character or string	'Hello!'
color	RGB hex value with '#'	'#ffffff' for white, '#ff0000' for red. / This is the same syntax as HTML colors.
boolean	'true' or 'false'
real number	digits.digits	'5.3' '10' '3.02' '0.4' The language only supports English notation with '.' for the delimiter.
parameter type	'real', 'boolean', 'integer' or 'enumeration'	Real stands for real number in floating point notation (5.3)
number of pixels	Any positive integer value	145
percentage	Real number followed by '%'	'20%' '33.3%'
position in pixels	Any integer value	-5
vertical alignment	'top' or 'bottom' or 'center'
horizontal alignment	'left' or 'right' or 'center'
orientation	'vertical' or 'horizontal'
graph style	'curve' or 'bargraph'	The bargraph style displays bars from the origin of the graph to the value of the curve, whereas the curve style draws curve points connected by segments in the case of non continuous curves.
file path	Relative file path. The root of all paths is the skin file directory.	'xxx.bmp', or 'images/xxx.bmp'
image file path	See file path	Supported formats: bmp (8,16 or 24 bits), png, svg, jpg files.
cursor	'system::xxx' where xxx is a valid cursor type, or (Windows only) valid cursor file path.	System::hand or 'mycursor.cur'
event	Events are fired when something happens and can be used to trigger actions.	Events are exposed by the data model and can be used to perform specific actions when fired.
script	script code.	Inside the script attribute you must replace " with ", < with < and some other chars.
param id	see identifier	The identifier of a PARAM
curve id	see identifier	The identifier of a CURVE
string id	see identifier	The identifier of a STRING
action id	see identifier	The identifier of an ACTION
group id	see identifier	The identifier of a GROUP
string with param fields	String containing parameter fields enclosed into brackets	'value is: {value} {unit}' Valid fields are: {value}, {unit}, {name}, {default}, {min}, {max}, {comment}, {text_value}, {as_string}
param value formatting	flagmax_char.digits (all fields are optional), where: flag values (can be mixed): '+' to show a '+' when the value is positive blank (' ') : positive values start with a blank '0' : value is padded with 0s. Valid only if followed by the max_char field. max_char is the maximum number of characters to use for the text (sign and '.' included) '.' followed by digits: number of characters reserved for the decimal part	'+8.2' will show a number with its sign, with a maximum of 8 characters (including '.') and 2 characters reserved for the digits '.0' will show a number without decimal part. '+05.0' will show a value with 5 characters without any decimal part, padded with '0' if needed. Using the max_char field avoids the text to move on the screen when the value changes if you used a monotype font such as 'Courier New'. For programmers, the syntax is very similar to the formatting options of 'printf' standard c function.
response curve	'linear' 'log' 'exp' 'log1' 'exp1' 'log2' 'exp2' 'log3' 'exp3' 'square_root' 'square'	See the Response Curves graphes below for an overview of available curves.
