WaveHelp Module

The waveform simulator's help panels. Three of these names come from the "WaveSimHelp" right-click menu in ContextMenus.fs and must stay spelled the same as the items there; the other two come from the viewer's own Info button. The names are matched in UIPopups.viewWaveInfoPopup, which is where that correspondence is enforced.

Functions and values

Returns: string

"Getting Started" - the viewer's Info button opens on this.

Returns: string

instructions

Full Usage: instructions

Returns: string

"Instructions" - the long one, from the viewer's own Info button. The scroll bullet used to draw the zoom-out and zoom-in icons inline, from DiagramStyle. Markdown holds text, so it names the controls instead - which also survives the icons being redrawn.
