Functional Details
name
| specifies the windows to be opened.
|
open
| determines whether the specified windows will be opened (1)
or closed (0).
The effect of this parameter depends on the type of argument supplied:
- If the argument is a single integer, all the specified
windows will be opened or they will all be closed.
- If the argument is an integer list, it must have the
same number of items as the list of strings given in
name, and the flags are
associated one-to-one with the named windows.
- If the argument is a string list, the windows listed in
open will be opened, and those listed in
name but not in open
will be closed.
|
how
| if specified, determines how the name
parameter
is to be interpreted:
"title"
| the name specified is the title of the window (accessible
through the Image Name option in the
Options pull-down menu of the Image
window, the title parameter of the
Image tool or the where
parameter of the Display module).
| "label"
| the name specified is the label of the window (accessible
through the Notation field of the configuration
dialog box of the Image or Display module).
| "window"
| the window identifier. If using SuperviseWindow and SuperviseState,
then name should be the
where
output of SuperviseWindow.
|
|
Note: If you use this module to close a window, you must also
turn off rendering to that window, using the
Route module.
Otherwise the window will open and then immediately close.
