<h4 class="subsection">3.2.6 Sweeps</h4>

<p><a name="index-sweep-281"></a><strong>Syntax:</strong>
<pre class="example">     sweep { <var>n</var>, <var>T_1</var>, <var>T_2</var>, ..., <var>T_r</var> }[<var>options</var>] <var>swept_object</var>
     sweep { <var>n</var>&lt;&gt;, <var>T_1</var>, <var>T_2</var>, ..., <var>T_r</var> }[<var>options</var>] <var>swept_object</var>
</pre>
   <p class="noindent">The sweep connects <var>n</var> (or perhaps <var>n</var>+1) copies of
<var>swept_object</var>
<a name="index-swept-object-282"></a>in order to create a new object of higher
dimension.  The <var>T_i</var> (for i between 1 and
r) are transforms. 
<a name="index-transform-283"></a>The k'th copy of <var>swept_object</var> is produced by applying the
following transform to the original.
<pre class="example">     <var>T_1</var>^k then <var>T_2</var>^k then ... then <var>T_r</var>^k
</pre>
   <p class="noindent">Here <var>T</var>^k means &ldquo;transform <var>T</var> applied k
times.&rdquo;  The original object is the zero'th copy, with k=0 and
effectively no transform applied (T^0=I, the identity
transform).

   <p>The method of connecting the copies depends on the type of
<var>swept_object</var> and on whether the closure tag
<a name="index-g_t_003c_003e_0040r_007b_002c-closure-tag_007d-284"></a><a name="index-closure-tag_002c-_0040code_007b_003c_003e_007d-285"></a>&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">&lt;&gt;</span></samp>&rsquo; is present
or not.
