display_curve

Context: curves

Synopsis

Display the specified curve.

Syntax

display_curve()
display_curve(id)

Description

The function arguments.

Argument	Description
id	A ChipsId structure identifying the item, or a string containing the name of the object.

If no argument is given then the current curve is shown, otherwise the argument determines what to show.

Examples

Example 1

chips> add_curve([-23,4,15],[10,8,11])
chips> hide_curve()
chips> display_curve()

Create a curve and hide it, then display the current curve.

Example 2

chips> add_curve([-4,0,4],[0,5,10], "id=diag")
chips> hide_curve("diag")
chips> x = np.arange(-4,4)
chips> add_curve(x, x**2, "id=parabola")
chips> display_curve("diag")

As the curve named 'parabola' is current, we have to specify a name to the display_curve() call to switch the first curve. This can be done using just the name, as above, or using a ChipsId structure as shown below:

chips> id = ChipsId()
chips> id.curve = "diag"
chips> display_curve(id)

Example 3

chips> add_curve([-4,0,4],[0,5,10])
chips> x = np.arange(-4,4)
chips> add_curve(x, x**2)
chips> hide_curve("all")
chips> display_curve("all")

Two curves are created and hidden, then the display_curve command displays them both.
