Name

OOF.LayerEditor.LayerSet.Copy_Method — Copy an existing display method.

Synopsis

OOF.LayerEditor.LayerSet.Copy_Method(layer_number)

Details

  • Parent Menu: OOF.LayerEditor.LayerSet
  • Callback: function copyMethodCB in module ooflib.common.IO.layereditor

  • Parameters:

    layer_number
    Number of the layer to copy. Type: Integer.

Description

Copy a Layer within the LayerSet currently being edited in the Layer Editor. The Layer and its DisplayMethod are duplicated, and the new Layer is selected in the Layer Editor.

When using the GUI it's often convenient to copy a Layer and then modify it. This generates a Copy_Method command followed by a Replace_Method command. In scripts this is sort of silly -- a single Add_Method command would suffice. However, OOF2 log files have to follow the sequence of events from the GUI, so they will contain a Copy_Method/Replace_Method pair.
