VDEDIT/obj list[,param1,param2][,{COLOR,c|FONTN,'fontname'|FONT,f|DENS,d|LWIDTH,w}][,'view name']
Edits the color, font, and/or line width of a previously defined object in the specified view. The entire object or parameter sections of an object may be edited. You can edit any number of objects using the same parameters in a single VDEDIT statement.
If you want to modify sections of a curve, you must enter the start and end parameters of the edit. The curve is parameterized along its length from zero to one. Zero represents the beginning of the curve as it was created, and one represents its end. Therefore, any value used must be between zero and one.
For example, if you want to modify the middle third of a curve, the starting parameter is .33 and the ending parameter is .66. It is not valid to extend a curve by entering a value outside of this range (e.g., -.25 or 1.25 produces an error).
Parameter |
Description |
obj list |
A list or array of previously defined objects which are to be erased from the view. |
param1,param2 |
Two numerical values or variables which represent the beginning and ending parameters of the view dependent modification. |
COLOR |
Minor word which indicates that the color of the object or objects are to be modified. |
c |
A numerical value or variable which represents the color number to change the curve segment to. The color that the color number represents is defined in the current color table.
|
FONTN |
Minor word which indicates that the font name is to be changed for the curve segment. |
'font name' |
A string or string variable which represents the name of the font to change the curve segment to. (To specify an invisible font, you must use the minor word FONT.) |
FONT |
Minor word which indicates that the following field modifies the font of the object or objects. |
f |
A numerical value or variable which represents the font number to change the curve segment to. The valid font numbers are as follows:
|
DENS or LWIDTH |
Minor words which indicate that the following field modifies the line width of the object or objects. |
d or w |
A numerical value or variable which represents the line width number to change the curve segment to. The valid line width numbers are as follows:
|
'view name' |
A string or string variable which represents the name of an existing view where the view dependent edit takes place. |
