Sets, and block definitions, require the following parameters, typically formatted as follows:

NumChildren<nl>
[ChildCellDefinition
[...]]

where NumChildren is an integer containing the number of child cells belonging to the set, ChildCellDefinition is a complete cell definition for a child cell and <nl> is the newline sequence.

The number of child cell definitions must match the NumChildren parameter.

Note that NumChildren excludes block definitions, file references and any children belonging to child sets.

Since sets contain the definitions of their child sets, and since child sets can themselves have child sets, it can be seen that the inclusion of sets gives cell files a hierarchical structure.

For a discussion of Root Sets and Main Sets, refer to the notes with the section on general file structure.
