save_state

Context: saving

Synopsis

Saves the ChIPS session into a state file.

Syntax

save_state(filename)

Description

The function arguments.

Argument	Description
filename	The file name to write to.

The save_state command saves the current ChIPS session into a platform-independent state file. This output file is not human readable; see the make_script command for an editable set of commands that can re-create the current visualization.

A partial history of the undo command is also saved, but it does not include history cached in a file. This limits which commands may be undone in the restored session.

The save session can be restored with the load_state command.

Examples

Example 1

chips> save_state("chips.state")

Save the session to the file "chips.state". This file can then be loaded using the load_state() command.

Example 2

chips> save_state("/data/chips/plot.chips")

Save the session to the file "/data/chips/plot.chips".
