Gary Williams:

I'm attempting to compile a list of all meta-commands...
did I miss anything?

Yes, but I don't think they are well known anyway:


0 TITLE <description>

is an alternative to just using the first line in a file for
the description of the file.


0 NOFILE

terminates a model in a MPD file (so does another FILE
command). This is useful as a final command in MPD files, in
case your mail/news posting program appends a signature
after the MPD file.  I don't know if this is used by other
MPD splitters than the most recent version of mine.


0 COLORNAME <name> <index>

Also "COLOURNAME"?


0 TRANSLATE { <x> <y> <z> | END }

Used to translate everything until the END is encountered.

How is the sequence:
  0 TRANSLATE 20 0 0
  ...
  0 TRANSLATE 0 24 0
  ...
  0 TRANSLATE END
interpreted?
This question is also relevant for ROTATE, SCALE, and
TRANSFORM.


0 INVERT

0 INVERT END (only needed if 0 INVERT has a persistent meaning)

It would be consistent with the other meta-commands to let
the INVERT command be persistent.


Play well,

Jacob
