EGL statements

A statement is the smallest independent computational unit in EGL and specifies an action to be performed. In most cases, statements are run in sequence. EGL supports the following kinds of statements:

A statement either ends with a semicolon or with a block, which is a series of subordinate statements that act as a unit. The block terminates with an end delimiter.

Names in statements and throughout an EGL source file are case-insensitive. For example, record1 is identical to RECORD1, and both add and ADD refer to the same keyword. The following situations are exceptions:

Statements, like parts, can include properties (name-value pairs with additional information about the statement). For each statement that has properties you can find a topic dealing with those properties.
