Hi Orestes, the "Scripting API description" context is used for all strings
that are used in Rocs' in-program programming help that explains the
user how to write algorithms for the Rocs graph simulator. You can
essentially think of this as the documenation of JavaScript
objects/functions that the user can modify in the program at runtime (e.g.
what properties of a pointer between two nodes can be accessed, how to
compute a shortest path...)
With respect to the string you are asking about: the string explains what
the return value the "nodes()" function of a graph object is. And you are
right, it should be phrased "Return a list of all nodes in the graph.".
Thanks for bringing this up!
