  • Allows you to access elements in an array when using expressions and formula fields.

// Get the X value returned by MapCoordToXY(), based on Longitude and Latitude fields
x = A2R(MapCoordToXY(, Coord(Longitude, Latitude)), 1)
opts = {{"Color", ColorRGB(0,0,0)}, {"Line Width", 4.5}, {"Names", "Fred", "Sam"}}
// To get the line width:
linewidth = A2R(FindOptionValue(opts, "Line Width"),1)
// linewidth is now equal to 4.5
