To make this manual easier to use, we've followed a few conventions in notation and names.
-
Important ideas are italicized the first time they appear.
-
Text that is entered at the keyboard or displayed on the screen and commands and their options available through the Interactive Optimizer appear in
this typeface, for example, set preprocessing aggregator n.
-
Entries that you must fill in appear in this typeface; for example,
write filename.
-
The names of C routines and parameters in the ILOG CPLEX Callable Library begin with
CPX; the names of C++ classes in the CPLEX Concert Technology Library begin with Ilo; and both appear in this typeface, for example, CPXcopyobjnames or IloCplex.
-
The names of Java classes begin with
Ilo and appear in this typeface, for example, IloCplex.
-
The name of a class or method in C#.NET is written as concatenated words with the first letter of each word in upper case, for example,
IntVar or IntVar.VisitChildren. Generally, accessors begin with the key word Get. Accessors for Boolean members begin with Is. Modifiers begin with Set.
-
Combinations of keys from the keyboard are hyphenated. For example, control-c indicates that you should press the control key and the c key simultaneously. The symbol
<return> indicates end of line or end of data entry. On some keyboards, the key is labeled enter or Enter.
