Command: glist

Syntax

glist { <elist> }

Description

Produce a list of graphic primitives.

Parameters

• <elist>
  A group/entity list defining which entities are to be listed. If omitted, the current contents of the all group are listed.

Switches

• -a
  Combined with the -of switch, use append mode to add to an existing text file.

• -c
  Combined with the -of switch, if <file> exists, prompt for confirmation before it is replaced.

• -ch=<channel>
  Send the output to a channel currently open for output.

• -err
  Send the output to the error log.

• -log=<panel>
  Send the output to a log sub-panel.

• -m
  Send the output to the monitor. This is the default behavior unless one of the -ch, -err, -log, -of, -os, -ow, -pr or -uof options are used.

• -of=<file>
  Send the output to a text file.

• -os=<ident>
  Send the output to a string identifier. If the identifier does not exist, a new string array is created using current scope rules, where each line of output is recorded in one array element.

• -ow=<window>
  Send the output to a window.

• -pau
  When listing to the monitor window, pause on each page full.

• -pr
  Send the output to the printer.

• -uof=<string>
  Send the output to a unix filter process.

Notes

For each graphic primitive, the listing will comprise its ue (unique entity) number, its primitive type and (if it is named) its class and entity name.
