AHELP for CIAO 4.5 ChIPS v1

display_curve

Context: curves

Synopsis

Display the specified curve.

Syntax

display_curve()
display_curve( [ChipsId] )
display_curve( "curve_id" )
display_curve( "all" )

Description

Depending on the argument, this command displays the current curve, the curve indicated in a ChipsId structure or by the curve_id, or all curves.

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

Example 1

chips> add_curve([-23,4,15],[10,8,11])
chips> hide_curve()
chips> display_curve()

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

Example 2

chips> add_curve([-4,0,4],[0,5,10], "id=diag")
chips> hide_curve("diag")
chips> x = np.arange(-4,4)
chips> add_curve(x, x**2, "id=parabola")
chips> display_curve("diag")

As the curve named 'parabola' is current, we have to specify a name to the display_curve() call to switch the first curve. This can be done using just the name, as above, or using a ChipsId structure as shown below:

chips> id = ChipsId()
chips> id.curve = "diag"
chips> display_curve(id)

Example 3

chips> add_curve([-4,0,4],[0,5,10])
chips> x = np.arange(-4,4)
chips> add_curve(x, x**2)
chips> hide_curve("all")
chips> display_curve("all")

Two curves are created and hidden, then the display_curve command displays them both.
