cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000[diff] [blame]307<p>The expression semantics include these rules:</p>
308
309<ul>
310<li>symbols are case insensitive</li>
311<li>only one ternary conditional (e.g. x ? y : z) per statement</li>
312<li>statements are assignments or the final expression to return</li>
313<li>an assignment starts a statement, it is not an operator</li>
cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000[diff] [blame]314<li>assignments to built-ins do not throw an exception and have no effect; e.g. <code>r=3.0; r</code> returns the pixel red color value, not 3.0</li>
cristyb7b531e2010-10-24 01:41:05 +0000[diff] [blame]315<li>Unary operators have a lower priority than binary operators, that is, the unary minus (negation) has lower precedence than exponentiation, so -3^2 is interpreted as -(3^2) = -9. Use parentheses to clarify your intent (e.g. (-3)^2 = 9).</li>
cristyd2432012015-05-04 23:15:15 +0000[diff] [blame]316<li>Similarly, care must be exercised when using the slash ('/') symbol. The string of characters <var>1/2x</var> is interpreted as (1/2)x. The contrary interpretation should be written explicitly as 1/(2x). Again, the use of parentheses helps clarify the meaning and should be used whenever there is any chance of misinterpretation.</li>

cristy8ee7f242013-06-20 16:08:44 +0000[diff] [blame]323<p>The symbols <code>u</code> and <code>v</code> refer to the first and second images, respectively, in the current image sequence. Refer to a particular image in a sequence by appending its index to any image reference (usually <code>u</code>), with a zero index for the beginning of the sequence. A negative index counts from the end. For example, <code>u[0]</code> is the first image in the sequence, <code>u[2]</code> is the third, <code>u[-1]</code> is the last image, and <code>u[t]</code> is the current image. The current image can also be referenced by <code>s</code>. If the sequence number exceeds the length of the sequence, the count is wrapped. Thus in a 3-image sequence, <code>u[-1]</code>, <code>u[2]</code>, and <code>u[5]</code> all refer to the same (third) image.</p>

cristy751980d2012-06-03 23:18:35 +0000[diff] [blame]333<p>It is important to note the special role played by the first image. This is the only image in the image sequence that is modified, other images are used only for their data. As an illustrative example, consider the following, and note that the setting <a href="command-line-options.html#channel">-channel red</a> instructs <a href="command-line-options.html#fx">-fx</a> to modify only the red channel; nothing in the green or blue channels will change. It is instructive to ponder why the result is not symmetric.</p>

The computed values are temporarily stored in a copy (clone) of that first image until all the pixels have been processed, after which this single new image replaces the list of images in the current image sequence. As such, in the previous example the updated version of <code>alpha.png</code> replaces both of the original images, <code>alpha.png</code> and <code>beta.png</code>, before being saved as <code>gamma.png</code>.</p>
