4.6 Loops and conditionals

Loops and conditionals are defined as follows, and can be imbricated:

For ( expression : expression )

Iterates from the value of the first expression to the value of the second expression, with a unit incrementation step. At each iteration, the commands comprised between ‘For ( expression : expression )’ and the matching EndFor are executed.

For ( expression : expression : expression )

Iterates from the value of the first expression to the value of the second expression, with a positive or negative incrementation step equal to the third expression. At each iteration, the commands comprised between ‘For ( expression : expression : expression )’ and the matching EndFor are executed.

For string In { expression : expression }

Iterates from the value of the first expression to the value of the second expression, with a unit incrementation step. At each iteration, the value of the iterate is affected to an expression named string, and the commands comprised between ‘For string In { expression : expression }’ and the matching EndFor are executed.

For string In { expression : expression : expression }

Iterates from the value of the first expression to the value of the second expression, with a positive or negative incrementation step equal to the third expression. At each iteration, the value of the iterate is affected to an expression named string, and the commands comprised between ‘For string In { expression : expression : expression }’ and the matching EndFor are executed.

EndFor

Ends a matching For command.

If ( expression )

The body enclosed between ‘If ( expression )’ and the matching Endif is evaluated if expression is non-zero.

EndIf

Ends a matching If command.

See t5.geo, for an example of For and If commands. Gmsh does not provide any Else (or similar) command at the time of this writing.
