tex2html_wrap_inline33790 tex2html_wrap_inline33790 Syntax

  1. BD>testgrid : tex2html_wrap_inline33712

  2. BD>testgrid : [B / D tex2html_wrap_inline33794 +D tex2html_wrap_inline33798 + ...+ D tex2html_wrap_inline37962 ] tex2html_wrap_inline33712

where tex2html_wrap_inline34520 and tex2html_wrap_inline38156 are the names of elements and bases.

To help organise the influence diagram, the TESTGRID:  command issued with no arguments draws all the nodes and arcs defined to date. The drawing will be superimposed over the last drawn graphics screen unless the overwrite  control is switched off.

The second form of the syntax is used to gauge the appearance of an influence diagram that would result from a future ADJUST:  command issued with the same parameters. The names of the bases and elements tex2html_wrap_inline34520 , tex2html_wrap_inline38156 , may or may not have been associated with nodes via a GRID:  command beforehand - if not, they will not appear on the diagram. As before, the drawing will be superimposed over the last drawn graphics screen unless the overwrite  control is switched off.

Abbreviated notation for the bases and elements in the definition part of the command may be used as described in §9.1.2.
