Using tag placeholders instead of tag names

The Graphic Display editor accepts tag placeholders instead of tag
names. Placeholders allow you to use the same display with a variety of
tags.

You can use tag placeholders in the same way you use tag names. A tag
placeholder is the cross–hatch character (#) followed by a number
from 1 to 500. For detailed information about placeholders, see
Chapter 11, Creating graphic displays.

Constants

A constant can have any of the following formats:

integer

(123)

floating point (123.45)

scientific

notation

(1.2345E2)

string constant (“character string”)

the symbol “pi”. RSView32

replaces the symbol with its numeric

value.
