In DIN 66261, the German Institute for Standardization defined the appearance of Nassi-Shneiderman diagrams. Menu option "DIN?" (or "DIN 66261?") is to turn on a DIN-conform diagram representation.

Actually, this setting affects only the FOR loop, because it is the sole element type, for which the Structorizer representation may differ from the DIN-66261 specification:
![FOR diagram according to DIN](Files/ForLoopDinType.png)
|
![FOR diagram not according to DIN](Files/ForLoopNotDinType.png)
|
FOR loop in accordance with DIN 66261 ("DIN?" checked; default in Structorizer since release 3.30) |
FOR loop not in accordance with DIN 66261 ("DIN?" unchecked; default in Structorizer before release 3.30) |
Also note the appearance of different toolbar and menu icons depending on the setting.
![Icons For-Loop in DIN mode Icons For-Loop in DIN mode](Files/toolbar_3.30-10_din.png)
Icon "FOR loop" with "DIN?" checked
![Icons For-Loop in not-DIN mode Icons For-Loop in not-DIN mode](Files/toolbar_3.30-10_non-din.png)
Icon "FOR loop" with "DIN?" not checked
Note: You can alter freely between DIN and non-DIN mode. The appearance of all diagrams will immediately switch to the new mode. This is no modification of the diagrams themselves but only of their representation. |
