Synopsis
Set the specified line as current.
Syntax
current_line(id)
Description
The function arguments.
Argument | Description |
---|---|
id | A ChipsId structure identifying the item, or a string containing the name of the object. |
The current_line command sets the line indicated by the argument as the current line; see "ahelp currency" for general information on currency.
Use the info_current command to retrieve a list of all the current items in the ChIPS session, as shown below.
Examples
Example 1
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> current_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, then the current_line command makes that line current.
The output of info_current for this session is:
chips> print(info_current()) Window [win1] Frame [frm1] Plot [plot1] Line [flat] Coord Sys [Plot Normalized]
Example 2
chips> add_line(.1, .3, .9, .3, "id=flat") chips> add_line(.3, .8, .8, .2) chips> current_line("flat")
Two lines are created. After the second line is created, it is current. The current_line command then sets the first line as the current line.
Example 3
chips> add_line(.1, .3, .9, .3, "id=flat") chips> add_line(.3, .8, .8, .2, "id=slope") chips> current_line("all")
Two lines are created. After the second line is created, it is current. The current_line command then makes all lines current.
