DatatypeToStr

DatatypeToStr

The DatatypeToStr function returns the data type name corresponding to the numeric data type code. For example passing 5 returns "float".

Syntax

sValue = DatatypeToStr( number )

number is the data type code from the Mira Data Types table.
string is the data type name from the Data Types table.

Example

The script fragment below shows how to create a text output window with a specified placement inside the main Mira window. We want the text window to stretch horizontally from 10% to 70% of the main window width and vertically from 20% to 60% of the main window height. Below is a function that does this:

t = 5	-- data type number 5
s = DatatypeToStr( t )	-- get the corresponding name string
Printf("type=%d, name=%s", t, s )	-- result: type=5, name="float"
