Synopsis
Set the specified plot as current.
Syntax
current_plot(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_plot command sets the plot indicated by the argument as the current plot; 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_plot(.1, .5, .5, .9, "id=obs459") chips> add_plot(.5, .1, .9, .5, "id=obs3456") chips> id.plot = "obs459" chips> current_plot(id) chips> info_current()
Two plots are created; the second plot is current after it is created. The id.plot command sets the plot value of the ChipsId structure to the first plot, then the current_plot command makes that plot current.
The output of info_current for this session is:
Window [win1] Frame [frm1] Plot [obs459] Coord Sys [Plot Normalized]
Example 2
chips> add_plot("id=main") chips> add_plot(.15, .15, .4, .4) chips> current_plot("main")
Two plots are created. After the second plot is created, it is current. The current_plot command then sets the first plot as the current plot.
Example 3
chips> add_plot("id=main") chips> add_plot(0.6, 0.6, 0.8, 0.8) chips> current_plot("all")
Two plots are created. After the second plot is created, it is current. The current_plot command then makes all plots current.
