Description

It's considered good programming practice to include a description, changelog and dates into your script. This helps with keeping track of changes or reverting any made changes. An example of a good description is the following.

   Name - NWT SPI Day Session
   Desc - Plot a ribbon show Green for the Day Session and Red for the Night Session
      Just to enable quicker back viewing of the data
          
   Version    Date          Reason
   1         17/12/2011   Start
}
