OOF2: The Manual

Details

Description

Send the LayerSet from the Layer Editor to a Graphics window. If there is a layer selected in the Graphics window, the new LayerSet replaces the LayerSet of the selected Layer. Each Layer in the new LayerSet replaces the corresponding Layer in the Graphics window. If no LayerSet is selected in the Graphics window, the new LayerSet is simply added to the window.

When using the GUI, the AutoSend command in the Layer Editor's Settings menu controls whether or not newly edited layers are sent automatically when editing is complete. By default, AutoSend is turned on. When it's on, explicit Send commands are needed only when the displayed object is changed, or when Layers are deleted. In scripts and in text mode, explicit Send commands are always required, and AutoSend is ignored.

There is almost no cost in cpu time for resending a LayerSet to a Graphics window. Layers are not recomputed unless they have changed. To force Layers to be redrawn, use the Redraw command in the Graphics window's File menu.
