Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "Again we will have to duplicate the material and name it Rim_Light."

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Let's start by going to the System tab, and in the lower-left corner, you will see the Compute Device setting area."
