@code{0} junctions,
@code{1} junctions,
@code{SS} components and
@code{SS} port components.


In each case, the presence of a vector component is indicated by a
single port label  (@pxref{Port labels}) of one of two forms:
@enumerate
@item containing numerals from 1 to
the order of the vector. Thus a vector of 3 components is indicated by a
port label of the form [1,2,3].
@item  1: followed by
the order of the vector. Thus a vector of 3 components is indicated by a
port label of the form [1:3].
@end enumerate


Within the corresponding label file (@pxref{Labels (lbl)}), the
components of a vector port can be accessed using _i where i is the
corresponding index. Thus a port SS:[Electrical] appearing near the port
label  [1,2,3] could contain the port alias (@pxref{Port aliases})
@example
%ALIAS  in Electrical_1,Electrical_2,Electrical_3

@cindex Make

@strong{MTT} has a number of built-in mechanisms for the user to extend
its capabilities. As @strong{MTT} is based on `Make' it is unsurprising
that some of these  involve the creation of `make files'. 

@menu
* Makefiles::                   
* New representations::         
* Component library ::          
@end menu

@section Makefiles
@cindex Makefiles

TwoLinkGMV_numpar.m: TwoLinkGMV_numpar.txt
        mtt -q TwoLinkGMV numpar m
@end example
All of the files in the line stating `all:' are created when
@strong{MTT} is executed (if they don't already exist).

@section New representations
@cindex New representations

It may be convenient to create new representations for @strong{MTT}; in
particular, it is nice to be able to include the result of some
numerical or symbolic computations within an @strong{MTT} report

s$(SYS)_def.m:
        mtt -q -s s$(SYS) def m

@end example

Future extensions of @strong{MTT} will use such representations stored
in $MTT_REP.

@cindex Component library

If @strong{MTT} does not recognise a component (eg named MyComponent) as
a simple component (@pxref{Simple components}) or as already existing,
it searches the library search path $MTT_COMPONENTS
(@pxref{$MTT_COMPONENTS}) for a directory called MyComponent containing
MyComponent_abg.fig. It then copies the @emph{entire} directory into the
current working directory. Thus, for example, the directory could
contain MyComponent_desc.tex MyComponent_lbl.txt and MyComponent_cr.r in
addition to MyComponent_abg.fig.

@vindex $MTT_COMPONENTS
The environment variable $MTT_COMPONENTS is a colon-separated path
pointing to directories containing components and subsystems.
By default
@example
MTT_COMPONENTS=.:$MTT_LIB/lib/comp/
@end example
but you may wish to add your own component libraries:
@example
MTT_COMPONENTS=my_library_path:$MTT_COMPONENTS
@end example
