draw

draw an entity. This function is obsolete.

Calling Sequence

draw()
draw(h)

Arguments

:h a handle, the handle on an entity to draw. h can be a vector of

handles, in which case all objects identified by h(i) will be drawn.

:

Description

This function can be used to draw entities specified by h even if its parent figure immediate_drawing property is “off”. If no argument is specified, the current object is drawn. Note that the window must not be resized ; if not, those objects are hidden back.

WARNING: This function is obsolete from Scilab 5.4.0 and is going to be removed with Scilab 5.4.1.

Examples

Those two exemples below behave the same way hiding and showing objects.

`subplot`_(212)
a=`gca`_();
`plot2d`_
`drawlater`_

`subplot`_(211)
`plot2d1`_ // default drawing mode

e=`gce`_();
draw(e.children(2)) // draw a single polyline of the second axes

e.children(1).visible='off'; // We can choose to make a line invisible

draw(e) // draw Compound and its children <=> draw all the visible polylines

`drawnow`_ // ...now!

e.children(1).visible='on';

`subplot`_(212)
a=`gca`_();
`plot2d`_();
`drawlater`_();

`subplot`_(211);
`plot2d1`_(); // default drawing mode

e=`gce`_();
a = `gca`_();
a.axes_visible = "off";
e.children(:).visible = "off";
`drawnow`_();

e.children(2).visible = "on"; // draw a single polyline of the second axes

e.children(1).visible='off'; // We can choose to make a line invisible

e.children(3).visible = "on"; // Make other components visible again

a.axes_visible = "on";

e.children(1).visible='on'; // Make last polyline visible
