NML:Graphics

A graphics block must be placed in an item-block. It allows to define the graphics for a particular item, as well as various callbacks. Callbacks are used to define various things at run time, based on information (variables) of the item itself. This provides a much greater degree of flexibility than setting properties. An example (using fictional callback names):

     graphics {
         callback_a: switch_a;
         callback_b: return 42 + some_var;
         default: some_spritegroup;
     }

The callbacks that are available differ per feature, refer to the feature-specific pages for more information. The 'default'-callback is usually used to resolve the graphics. For each callback a return value may be specified, in the same way as for switch-blocks. Note that all callbacks have to be defined in a single graphics-block.
