Message type identifiers — msgtype • hector

These identifiers indicate the type of a message so that the core can route it to the correct method in the recipient.

GETDATA()

SETDATA()

BIOME_SPLIT_CHAR()

Functions

GETDATA: Message type for retrieving data from a component
SETDATA: Message type for setting data in a component
BIOME_SPLIT_CHAR: Character used to separate biome from variable name

Note

Because these identifiers are provided as #define macros in the hector code, these identifiers are provided in the R interface as function. Therefore, these objects must be called to use them; e.g., GETDATA() instead of the more natural looking GETDATA.
