  • Lab 4:
    • This lab will ask you to bring up a plot of the world in the background and then interact with it from inside the shell.
    • What you need to do:
      1. Use PLOT to plot world.shp in the background. Give the plot an ID of MYPLOT.
      2. Use REG to look at the registry entry for plot.
      3. Use RES to look at the registry table. Note how it is the same as what was shown with REG.
      4. Use RES to look at the particular entry for the plot. Since REG is a table, you can use the REG.<id> syntax.
      5. Use QUERY to see some of the methods can be called on the plot. Then use QUERY reg.myplot.nextlink to see more methods that can be called on plot. The plot object is Chainable, so when a method is not found in plot, the next link in the chain is searched. Consult User's Guide: ResultParameters for more information on Chainable.
      6. Use QUERY and the NeXtMidas API to look at the documentation for the setView method that is callable in the plot.
      7. Set the PLOT view to GEODETIC.
