Detailed Description

A leaf log item with no children.

Leaf items can use a linking feature, to avoid too much redundant information. Linking should always be done using the autoLink function, which will search backwards in the current scope for a correct entry type to link with. If none is found, parent scopes are searched in the same way until the base scope is reached.

If for instance a velocity is to be logged, there should be a relevant position log entry previous to this velocity entry. This is important for visualization purposes, to know where vectors act.
