Current Page: NeXtMidas Training Getting Started - Part 2 Lab 4 Instructions
| 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: Use `PLOT` to plot `world.shp` in the background. Give the plot an ID of `MYPLOT`. Use `REG` to look at the registry entry for plot. Use `RES` to look at the registry table. Note how it is the same as what was shown with `REG`. Use `RES` to look at the particular entry for the plot. Since `REG` is a table, you can use the `REG.<id>` syntax. 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`. Use `QUERY` and the NeXtMidas API to look at the documentation for the `setView` method that is callable in the plot. Set the PLOT view to `GEODETIC`.
