"run" vs "execute" and other words with aliases #1

Open jbfaden opened 3 years ago

I just realized both "run" and "execute" are used to refer to the same action with a script. This should be avoided because it makes it difficult for new people to understand documentation and more for those whose English is a second language. This ticket will keep track of these redundancies and decide which should be used.

Another is Jython keywords vs switches, both are used. Bash has switches, IDL has keywords.

parameter vs dataset.

control vs parameter.

go vs play vs plot vs run. "play" should be used when either action will be invoked (plotting a file or running a script), referring to the green play button.

"panels" vs "tabs". What is the content attached to the tabbed pane called?

autoplot_server uses "timeRange" while it's "timerange" in other places.

"render type" and "plot style" are used interchangeably.
