AHELP for CIAO 4.11 ChIPS v1

display_label

Context: labels

Synopsis

Display the specified label.

Syntax

display_label()
display_label(id)

Description

The function arguments.

Argument Description
id A ChipsId structure identifying the item, or a string containing the name of the object.

If no argument is given then the current label is shown, otherwise the argument determines what to show.


Examples

Example 1

chips> add_label(.35,.9,"The top of the frame.", "id=top")
chips> hide_label("top")
chips> display_label()

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

Example 2

chips> add_label(.35,.9,"The top of the frame.", "id=top")
chips> hide_label("top")
chips> add_label(.35,.1,"The bottom of the frame.","id=bot")
chips> id = ChipsId()
chips> id.label = "top"
chips> display_label(id)

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

Example 3

chips> add_label(.35,.9,"The top of the frame.", "id=top")
chips> add_label(.35,.1,"The bottom of the frame.","id=bot")
chips> hide_label("all")
chips> display_label("all")

Two labels are created and hidden, then the display_label command displays them both.
