Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: echo command Initial Comment: Would it be possible to name an echo so it could be turned on or off similar to many other Jmol features, i.e. echo myecho "Hi there"; echo myecho off; echo myecho on; ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Hanson (hansonr) Date: 2008-08-14 13:17 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1082841 Originator: NO While that may be true, the advantages of the commands will outweigh this problem, I think. It will just have to be clear in the documentation. The ability to hide/display OBJECTS selectively is an important new capability. Possibly? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Rolf Huehne (rhuehne) Date: 2008-08-14 07:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1344570 Originator: NO I suppose in contrast to 'hide/display selection_expression' 'hide/display $objectName' will only hide/display object '$objectName' and not also display/hide all other objects.

OK, that's "hide" now, and, in addition, this is even better: hide $objectName display $objectName where objectName can be anything that can have an ID, including echo, draw, pmesh, lcaocartoon, isosurface, and wild card * is allowed at the beginning or end: hide $my* Bob ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Rolf Huehne (rhuehne) Date: 2008-08-14 06:01 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1344570 Originator: NO Wouldn't the syntax be more consistent if the option pair would either be 'HIDDEN/DISPLAYED' or 'HIDE/DISPLAY' instead of 'HIDDEN/DISPLAY'? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2008-08-13 22:19 Message: Logged In: NO set echo myecho on though documented, was never implemented, and set echo myecho off actually DELETES an echo. So....
