Like the reference manual, this manual uses the following conventions:
- Important ideas are italicized the first time they appear.
- The names of C routines and parameters in the ILOG CPLEX Callable Library begin with
CPX; the names of C++ and Java classes in the ILOG CPLEX Concert Technology Library begin with Ilo; and both appear in this typeface, for example: CPXcopyobjnames() or IloCplex.
- Where specific language usage (C++, Java, C, and so on) is unimportant and the effect on the optimization algorithms is to be emphasized, the names of ILOG CPLEX parameters are given as their Concert Technology variant. Appendix A, ILOG CPLEX Parameter Names, contains a table showing the correspondence of these names to the Callable Library and the Interactive Optimizer. Full information about CPLEX parameters is found in the ILOG CPLEX Reference Manual, Appendix A.
- Text that is entered at the keyboard or displayed on the screen and commands and their options available through the Interactive Optimizer appear in
this typeface, for example, set preprocessing aggregator n.
- Values that you must fill in (for example, the value to set a parameter) also appear in the same typeface as the command but slanted to indicate you must supply an appropriate value; for example,
set simplex refactor i indicates that you must fill in a value for i.
- Matrices are denoted in two ways:
