Getting help

Nodes

Inside the PCOT app there are three ways to get help on a node:

  • Double-clicking on the little blue box in the top right corner of that node in the graph,
  • Using the right-click context menu on a node,
  • Using the right-click context menu on a button in the palette.

The node help texts are also available in the automatically generated documentation. If this isn't enough, don't hesitate to contact the Aberystwyth team.

Expressions

Doing the above on an expr node will tell you what operations, functions and properties are available. This text is also available in the automatically generated documentation for this node.

You can also get help on properties and functions by right clicking in the log box at the bottom and selecting the appropriate option. Inside the expression box in the expr node, you can right-click on most things and ask for help.
