   6 description::
   7 UnaryOpUGens are created as the result of a unary operator applied to a link::Classes/UGen::.
   8 code::
   9 (SinOsc.ar(200).abs).dump;
  10 (LFSaw.ar(200).sin).dump;
  11 ::
  12 As in the examples given here, you don't usually need to instantiate UnaryOpUGen yourself.
  13
  14 The unary and binary operators are defined in link::Classes/UGen::'s superclass link::Classes/AbstractFunction::, which creates the
  15 BinaryOpUGen as a result of the operation.

  17 See link::Overviews/Operators:: for an overview of common operators.
