Vectors

Vectors are used for providing numerical values. There are different types of vectors (e. g. position vectors, range vectors or property vectors for RGB colors). The type of a vector (and optionally information in the root-element) gives the domain and the number of the elements that it contains. Each vector element is either a number or a variable, which is set in the Fib object above the Fib element of the vector.

If the value of an evalued element is outside of its domain (the domain for the vector element), this value is rounded to the nearest value that lies in the domain. If an element of the vector is not existing, it is evaluated as the zero value of its domain.

Vectors of one type are only used in a very specific type of Fib element.

A listing of the possible vector typs can be found in Table 1 .

Table 1: Vector typs

vector	description	used in Fib element	number of elements	typ of elements
position	the position of a point	$point$	any (a vectors can always contain just 0 elements)	numbers
area	contains the borders of an area (inclusive the borders)	$area$	2	integers
property vector (there are more than one type)	defines a value of a property	$property$	any	numbers
