A method is a function which belongs to a graphical object. Methods have, in contrast to global functions, access to the data of the owner-object.

Example

Let the following example be part of a result sheet with a linked graphical analysis which is mapped under the name A. Furthermore let the graphical analysis contain two line line1 and line2.

=A.F[0].line1.angleTo(A.F[0].line2)

In this example the method angleTo of the graphical object line1 (instance of Line) is called. This method has access to the owning object (line1) and to the given parameters (line2 in this case.) and can therefor calculate and return the angle between these two lines.
