Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: " The Spotfire.Dxp.Application namespace has a class called Visual "

A block of code is set as follows:

# Get marked rows as a row selection
for marking in Document.Data.Markings:
  if marking.Name == "Marking":
    rowSelection = marking.GetSelection(dataTable)

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

# ChangeDataTable
# Declare libraries
# Define the metadata table objects
# Set up cursors for columns in MetadataKpis and MetadataBusinessRules

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

# cp /usr/src/asterisk-addons/configs/cdr_mysql.conf.sample
     /etc/asterisk/cdr_mysql.conf

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: " Select Unique values as the Color mode, which assigns one color to each region."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
