Graphics

cgShow, selection [, /OBJECT] [, /WIDGETID] [, /TITLE]

Allows the user to select the cgWindow application to be the brought forward on the display. Selection can be made based on window index number, widget identifier, object reference, or window title. This is the equivalent of WShow for normal graphics windows.

Parameters

selection in required type=varies

Normally, a window index number of an cgWindow application. But, the selection can be a widget identifier, an object reference, or a window title, depending on which keywords are set. The cgWindow matching the selection is made the "current" cgWindow and the application is moved forward on the display.

Keywords

OBJECT in optional type=boolean

If this keyword is set, the selection is assumed to be an object reference.

WIDGETID in optional type=boolean

If this keyword is set, the selection is assumed to be a widget identifier.

TITLE in optional type=boolean

If this keyword is set, the selection is assumed to be a window title. All matching is done in uppercase characters.

Examples

Used with query routine:

IDL> wids = cgQuery(TITLE=titles, COUNT=count) IDL> index = Where(StrUpCase(titles) EQ 'PLOT WINDOW', tcnt) IDL> IF tcnt GT 0 THEN cgSet, wids[index] IDL> cgWindow, 'Oplot', thisData, /AddCmd IDL> cgShow ; Bring current window forwad on display
