AHELP for CIAO 4.5 ChIPS v1

display_colorbar

Context: images

Synopsis

Display the specified colorbar.

Syntax

display_colorbar()
display_colorbar( [ChipsId] )
display_colorbar( "colorbar_id" )
display_colorbar( "all" )
display_colorbar_border()

Description

Depending on the argument, this command displays the current colorbar, the colorbar indicated in a ChipsId structure or by the colorbar_id, or all colorbars.

  • (no argument) - the current colorbar is displayed.
  • ChipsId - an optional ChipsId structure containing values to modify the currency state for the command.
  • colorbar_id - identification tag given to each object that is created; use this to display a specific colorbar.
  • all - displays all colorbars.

Hiding and Displaying the Colorbar Border

By default, the colorbar border is visible; it can be hidden with the hide_colorbar_border command. To display a hidden border, use the display_colorbar_border command. The border cannot be displayed if the colorbar is hidden; it is automatically hidden as well.

Example 1

chips> add_colorbar(0, .5, "orientation=vertical")
chips> hide_colorbar()
chips> display_colorbar()

Create a colorbar and hide it, then display the current colorbar.

Example 2

chips> id = ChipsId()
chips> add_colorbar(0, .5, "id=vert orientation=vertical")
chips> hide_colorbar("vert")
chips> add_colorbar(.5, -.05)
chips> id.colorbar = "vert"
chips> display_colorbar(id)

Two colorbars are created; the second colorbar is current after it is created. The id.colorbar command sets the colorbar value of the ChipsId structure to the first colorbar. That colorbar is then displayed.
