hide_curve

Context: curves

Syntax

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

Description

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

(no argument) - the current curve is hidden.
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 hide a specific curve.
all - hides all curves.

The curve is not deleted, just hidden. The display_curve command makes it visible again.

Example 1

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

Create a curve, then hide the current curve.

Example 2

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

In order to hide the first curve, we need to specify the name of the curve in the hide_curve() call, since the 'parabola' curve is current. This can be done as above, by using just the name, or by using a ChipsId structure:

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

Two curves are created, then the hide_curve command hides them both.
