Complex Filter Expressions and Scripting

You can emulate the effect of multiple-line filter expressions in scripts by joining expression parameters with "AND". For example, the following scripted command

Dm.parseCommand(“filter-planes ‘AU > 0.5 AND’ ‘M4DDESC =2’ ‘’);


Represents the following expression filter:

AU > 0.5 AND
M4DDESC = 2


Note the third parameter (empty single quotes). This is used to indicate that no further expressions will be specified.
