display_point

Synopsis

Display the specified point.

display_point()
display_point( [ChipsId] )
display_point( "point_id" )
display_point( "all" )

Description

Depending on the argument, this command displays the current point, the point indicated in a ChipsId structure or by the point_id, or all points.

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

Example 1

chips> add_point(.4, .5, "id=sq style=square")
chips> hide_point("sq")
chips> display_point()

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

Example 2

chips> id = ChipsId()
chips> add_point(.4, .5, "id=sq style=square")
chips> hide_point("sq")
chips> add_point(.6, .5, "style=plus")
chips> id.point = "sq"
chips> display_point(id)

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

Example 3

chips> add_point(.4, .5, "id=sq style=square")
chips> add_point(.8, .2, "id=tri style=uptriangle size=12")
chips> hide_point("all")
chips> display_point("all")

Two points are created and hidden, then the display_point command displays them both.
