delete_line

Synopsis

Delete the specified line.

delete_line()
delete_line( [ChipsId] )
delete_line( "line_id" )
delete_line( "all" )

Description

Depending on the argument, the delete_line command deletes the current line, the line indicated in a ChipsId structure or by the line_id, or all lines.

• (no argument) - the current line is deleted.
• ChipsId - an optional ChipsId structure containing values to modify the currency state for the command.
• line_id - identification tag given to each object that is created; use this to delete a specific line.
• all - deletes all lines.

Example 1

chips> add_line(0, 0, 1, 1)
chips> delete_line()

Create a line, then delete it.

Example 2

chips> id = ChipsId()
chips> add_line(.1, .3, .9, .3, "id=flat")
chips> add_line(.3, .8, .8, .2, "id=slope")
chips> id.line = "flat"
chips> delete_line(id)

Two lines are created; the second line is current after it is created. The id.line command sets the line value of the ChipsId structure to the first line. That line is then deleted.

Example 3

chips> add_line(0, 0, 1, 1)
chips> add_line(.1, .3, .9, .3)
chips> delete_line("all")

Two lines are created, then the delete_line command deletes them both.
