display_contour

Synopsis

Display the specified contour.

display_contour()
display_contour( [ChipsId] )
display_contour( "contour_id" )
display_contour( "all" )

Description

Depending on the argument, this command displays the current contour, the contour indicated in a ChipsId structure or by the contour_id, or all contours.

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

Example 1

chips> add_contour([[1,1,1], [1,3,1], [1,1,1]], 3,3)
chips> hide_contour()
chips> display_contour()

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

Example 2

chips> id = ChipsId()
chips> add_contour([[1,1,1], [1,3,1], [1,1,1]], 3,3,
[1.1,1.5,2,2.5],'id=levels')
chips> hide_contour("levels")
chips> add_contour([1,2,5,3,3,6,0,0,1],3,3)
chips> id.contour = "levels"
chips> display_contour(id)

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

Example 3

chips> add_contour([[1,1,1], [1,3,1], [1,1,1]], 3,3,
[1.1,1.5,2,2.5],'color=lime style=solid')
chips> add_contour([1,2,5,3,3,6,0,0,1],3,3)
chips> hide_contour("all")
chips> display_contour("all")

Two contours are created and hidden, then the display_contour command displays them both.
