NAME
SHOW - Define which kinds of things to display
SYNOPSIS
SHOW {+|-|#}{EACILNOPRT}<layer>
DESCRIPTION
The SHOW command controls what layers are visible and modifiable in the
drawing. Changes made with the SHOW command only become visible after the
next WINDOW command.
All drawings default to ALL layers visible and ALL layers non-modifiable
when first created or read from disk. This feature makes it much safer
to browse critical files with Piglet. No layers are modifiable unless
explicitly unlocked with the SHOW command. Changes to the SHOW settings
only affect the component currently being edited. SHOW settings remain
with each component as long as the component is in memory.
Casual users may grow tired of typing "SHOW #E;" after every "EDIT". The
default show setting may be overridden by setting the "PIGLET_SHOW_DEFAULT"
environment variable. It can either be set and exported in the UNIX shell, or
set from within Piglet using the SET command. For example, invoking Piglet from
the UNIX shell with
sh> PIGLET_SHOW_DEFAULT="#E" pig
will cause all cells to be opened modifiable and visible by default.
EXAMPLES
- SHO #E;
-
Make ALL layers visible and modifiable
- SHO #E -C7;
-
Set ALL layers visible and modifiable. except circles on layer 7
- SHO -E #R3;
-
Make nothing editable or visible except rectangles on layer 3
- SHO #E7 +E5;
-
Display layers 7 and 5, but only layer 7 is modifiable
OPTIONS
- {+|-|#}
-
One of three modifiers. "+" makes the layer visible, "-" turns off visibility and modifiability, "#" makes
the layer both visible and modifiable.
- [EACILN0PRT]
-
- <component>
-
A designator limiting the command to a given component.
One of E=everything, A=arc, C=circle, I=instances, L=lines,
N=notes, O=oval, P=polygons, R=rectangles, T=text, or a valid
instance name. If an instance name is given, only instances of
that name will be selected. If no <component> is given, then
components of any type may be selected.
- <layer>
-
Layer number, "0" or omitted designates all layers. Not used
when <component> is an instance name.
