   8 [section:vmd_specific_generic Macros for working with data types]
   9
  10 VMD macros for working with data types which VMD understands can
  11 be divided into specific and generic macros.
  12
  13 The specific macros ask whether some input data is a particular
  14 data type. The generic macros work with input data as any data
  15 type while allowing the programmer to separately query the type
  16 of data.
  17
  18 Both specific and generic macros have their place and the macro
  19 programmer can decide which to use for any given situation.
