The following examples show alternative styles that produce the same definition:

Note: that although we are using class Edit as a short cut, the objects that are added are still of type Variable.

In the example above we use 'defs.s1' to reference a node by name. This is useful in small designs but will produce maintenance issues in large designs IF the node names are changed. |
