Element: blob.customize { }

Type

procedure

Parameters

<blob>.customize() {
    <data_block>
}

Description

A function to add user defined elements to a blob structure.
<data_block> is a block of statements, each of the form:

<type> {<element>{[<num>]} {= <values>} }

where:

• <type> - The identifier type.

• <element> - The element name, unique for the structure.

• [<num>] - The array dimension if the element is an array. num may be omitted from variable-length arrays.

• <values> - Initial value(s) for the element.

<element> can be omitted when <type> is another class of structure. In such cases, the members of <type> are inherited by the new structure and given the same element names. If <type> is a filter, its value must be a single line definition.

The new structure elements cannot be graphic elements.

Examples

blob myblob
myblob.customize {
    string info = 'Roads'
}

Notes

This function cannot be changed by the user.

When blobs are saved in atable files, any customization is lost.
