- Use
PLOT
to plot world.shp
in the background. Give
the plot an ID of MYPLOT
.
nM> plot/bg/id=myplot world.shp
<Plot should come up in separate window.>
nM>
- Use
REG
to look at the registry entry for plot.
nM> reg
T: REG = Table of 3 entries
O: SHELL = nxm.sys.lib.Shell@c1cd1f
T: HANDLERS = Table of 3 entries
O: MYPLOT = P: PLOT,FILE=world.shp,/BG=,/ID=myplot
- Use
RES
to look at the registry table. Note how it is the
same as what was shown with REG
.
nM> res reg
T: REG = Table of 3 entries
O: SHELL = nxm.sys.lib.Shell@c1cd1f
T: HANDLERS = Table of 3 entries
O: MYPLOT = P: PLOT,FILE=world.shp,/BG=,/ID=myplot
- Use
RES
to look at the particular entry for the plot. Since
REG
is a table you can use the REG.<id>
syntax.
nM> res reg.myplot
O: REG.MYPLOT = P: PLOT,FILE=world.shp,/BG=,/ID=myplot
- 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.
nM> query reg.myplot
<Long list of methods in plot.>
nM> query reg.myplot.nextlink
<Long list of methods in MPlot.>
- Use
QUERY
and the NeXtMidas API to look at the documentation for the setView
method that is callable in the plot.
nM> query reg.myplot.nextlink
<Long list of methods in MPlot including setView.>
Next: Look in the NeXtMidas API, click on the "MPlot" class, and look at documentation for the setView
method.
- Set the view to
GEODETIC
. Remember that when a class has a
setFoo(..)
method the value of it can be set using
SET <object>.FOO <value>
.
nM> set reg.myplot.view GEODETIC
<Plot should change to a 3D (Geodetic) view.>
