Defining specific nodes

 
Syntax

BD>node : B,R ,R ,R ,I,R ,R

where B is the name of an element or base. I is an integer, and are real numbers in (0,1).

The NODE:  command is used to specify nodal information for a single node to be drawn on an influence diagram. The information supplied is as for a GRID:  command, and in the same order. That is,

• B is the name of the base or element to be represented as a node on the influence diagram.
• are numbers in (0,1) which specify the (x,y) coordinates for the centre of the node.
• is a number in (0,1) gives the radius of the circle representing the node.
• is an integer in [1,15] representing a colour (see Table 11.3).
• are numbers in (0,1) which specify the (x,y) coordinates for the label associated with the node.

Further details can be found under discussion of the GRID:  command. The NODE:  command should be treated simply as an alternative syntax for the GRID0:  command when only one base or element is being defined as a node.
