<h1 class="center">PythonCAD Command Interpreter Reference</h1>
<p>
The table below gives the available commands in PythonCAD. An
<a href="#example">example</a> of a command set like those in the
<q>keywords.py</q> file is available at the bottom of the page.
The commands are listed in the second column of the table. The third
column in the table represents an internal command that gets run
when the command in the second column is seen.
</p>
<p>
It bears repeating that the ability of PythonCAD in dealing with these
commands is a new feature, and therefore you should expect to encounter
some <q>undocumented features</q>. As the development of PythonCAD
advances, the command interpreting abilities of the program should
stabilize and become more powerful with fewer surprises.

<h4 id="example">Example Command Set</h4>
<p>
Defining a command set is essentially defining a Python dictionary. The
<q>key</q> is the command, and the <q>value</q> is the internal
command to execute when the user enters the command <q>key</q>. Here
is a commands set called <q>mycommands</q>.
</p>
<pre>
mycommands = {
'foobar' : <q>quit</q>,
'foo' : <q>segment</q>,
'X' : <q>quit</q>,
'O' : <q>opend</q>
}
</pre>
<p>
As the command interpreter is a new PythonCAD addition, it will undoubtedly
go through several iterations before it begins to stabilize. The command
set, internal command set, and means of selecting which dictionary to use
to try and interpret the commands are guaranteed to change. It is also
likely that commands may appear in one release, disappear in the next, then
reappear in the release after that, or that commands will change meanings.
