Synopsis

OOF.Graphics_n.Layer.Edit(n, category, what, how)

Details

  • Parameters:

    n
    Layer to edit. Type: Integer.
    category
    The kind of object to display Type: The name of a class of OOF2 objects (eg, 'Microstructure' or 'Skeleton').
    what
    The object to display Type: The path to an OOF2 object.
    how

Description

Replace the nth Layer of the canvas with a new one defined by category, what, and how. Those parameters have the same meaning that they have in OOF.Graphics_n.Layer.New.

In the GUI, a Layer can be edited by selecting it in the Layer List at the bottom of the Graphics Window and choosing Edit from the Layer menu, or by double clicking in the Layer List. Either method will open a dialog box preloaded with the parameters describing layer number n. All parameters other than n can be changed in the dialog.

In text mode and in scripts, the Layer is specified by its position n in the window's layer list. The unlisted and invisible layers must be counted when computing n. This command isn't very friendly in scripts, because it can be hard to determine n.
