This command is used to construct an element and add it to the Domain.

element eleType? arg1? ...


The type of element created and the additional arguments required depends on the eleType? provided in the command.


NOTE:

The valid queries to any element when creating an ElementRecorder are documented in the NOTES section for each element.


The following contain information about eleType? and the args required for each of the available element types:
