collapse_depths

Context: depth

Synopsis

Merges an array of depths into a single new depth.

Syntax

collapse_depths(depth_list, newdepth)
collapse_depths(id, depth_list, newdepth)

Description

The function arguments.

Argument	Description
depth_list	A list of one or more depth values.
newdepth	The new object depth.
id	A ChipsId structure identifying the item, or a string containing the name of the object.

The collapse_depths command merges an array of depths into a single new depth. The order in which the depths are specified dictates the order in which the objects are merged into the new depth.

Use the info_depth command to see which depths are being used. For general information on depth, refer to "ahelp depthcontrol".

Example

chips> add_curve(range(10), range(10), 'line.color=blue
symbol.color=blue depth=50')
chips> add_curve(range(10), range(9,-1,-1), 'depth=200')
chips> add_hline(5, 'depth=70 color=red')
chips> collapse_depths([50,70,100], 200)

Create two curves and a horizontal line at different depths. All objects at depths 50, 70, and 100 are collapsed to a depth of 200.
