Reference Manual > Node types

The table below describes all supported node types. The identifier listed in the first column is used when creating a node with DSL_network::AddNode, or when changing the node type with DSL_node::ChangeType. It is also returned from the overridden virtual method DSL_nodeDef::GetType (DSL_cpt::GetType returns DSL_CPT, DSL_truthTable::GetType returns DSL_TRUTHTABLE, etc.). Each type is associated with a specific definition class. Note that the node value class DSL_beliefVector is associated with multiple node types.
