Examples
’POS EQ W1S2D3’ $ This evaluates to true only if POS of the current $

element is (-1,-2,-3).
’POS GT N10’ or ’N10 LE POS’ $ Only the second coordinate of POS is compared;
$ if it is greater than 10, then the result is true.
’E10N10 GT E0N0’ $ Is true because the inequality is verified for the X
$ and Y axis (both coordinates are undefined for
$ the Z axis, so it is ignored).
’E10N0 GT E0N0’ $ Is false because the Y components are different
$ axes.
’E10N0 GT E0U100’ $ Is true. Although no comparison can be
$ performed n either the Y or the Z axis, because
$ the components are not present in both position
$ constants, the comparison is true in the X
$ component.
’N10 EQ W4D7’ $ Is undefined (no comparison is possible).
