Retrieves the attribute value(s) of the window.
get_window()
get_window(id [,attribute])
-
id - an optional ChipsId structure containing values to
modify the currency state for the command or a string id to
specify the window.
-
attribute - a string containing the name of the attribute to
retrieve
The get_window command returns a structure containing all the
attribute values of the
window. To retrieve the value of a specific attribute, provide
the attribute name and the id or ChipsId of the object.
Some values are set to "None" in the returned structure.
These entries generally correspond to attributes which may
only be modified at creation time, such as the object id.
The attributes associated with windows are:
| bgcolor |
Background Color of the window |
Note that the window title is not included in the attributes.
In order to get that value, use the get_window_title
command.
The module of advanced ChIPS functions contains other commands
for retrieving attribute values (refer to "ahelp chips" for
information on loading the module):
get_window_bgcolor
get_window_redraw
chips> add_window()
chips> print(get_window())
A window is created and becomes current. Calling get_window with no
argument returns all the attributes of the object.
chips> get_window('win1','bgcolor')
get_window is called to return the "bgcolor" attribute of win1.
chips> add_window()
chips> add_window( "id=M33")
chips> id = ChipsId()
chips> id.window = "win1"
chips> print(get_window(id))
A ChipsId structure is created and the id.window field is set to "win1".
get_window is called with the ChipsId.
chips> winatt = get_window()
chips> print(winatt)
Retrieve a structure containing the attribute values of the current
window and store the results in "winatt". Print the contents of "winatt".
