In the documentation for class methods, Hungarian notation is used to encode the types of variables used as parameters for the methods. Hungarian notation is a mnemonic convention in which the first letter (or letters) of a variable's name is typed in lowercase and denotes the type of the variable. The concept of Hungarian notation was developed by Charles Simonyi. The following table lists the conventions used in this documentation.
| Type | Type Indicator | Example Variable Names |
|---|---|---|
| boolean | b | bShow, bNominal, bShowLabels |
| double | d | dMin, dMax, dHeight, dAngle |
| int | n | nNumVar, nAxisID, nWidth, nNumXLines |
| Matrix | m | mX, mTickValues, mData |
| String | s | sFileName, sLabel, sDataName, sVarName |
| array | a | adValues, anNumObs |
