Description - this.title

Name: this.title

Type: String

Context: All formula types

Description:

Using this statement you can set the title of the formula. This title will appear in the compiler formula window.

Each formula starts with a class name, which uniquely identifies the formula inside the formula file:

simple_transformation
{
   void transform(void)
   {
   }
   void description(void)
   {
      this.title="NOP-Transform";
   }
}

The class name simple_transformation won’t appear in the user interface. The compiler window will only display a formula with the name NOP-Transform. The class name is only taken if no title has been specified. Because the class name uniquely identifies the formula itself you should not change it, once specified. If you create an Escapetime fractal which uses your formula, then this fractal will look for a formula having the specified class name, not using the title. So you can make the class name as cryptic as you like, but once specified and used, do not change it until you know what you do.

The title must not be longer than 64 characters.

Example:

this.title="NOP-Transform";
