Command: south

Syntax

south { <window> }

Description

Display an orthographic view of the model looking south.

Parameters

• <window>
  A window identifier. The window must be a graphic window. If omitted, the current graphic window is used.

Switches

• -dbt=<num>
  A transition style to be invoked at the end of the contents repaint. This feature is used only when double buffering is active for the window and facilitates presentation-type effects. See here for a description of all available transition styles. If this switch is omitted, the transition style of the window is used (see window.double_buffering).

• -loc
  Display a south view of the window’s local axes, rather than using the global axes (the default).

• -o1=<num>
  A Y ordinate defining the front (hither) viewing plane. If omitted, the rear side of the window’s orthogonal box is used.

• -o2=<num>
  A Y ordinate defining the rear (yon) viewing plane. If omitted, the front side of the window’s orthogonal box is used.

• -p1=<point>
  A 3-D point defining the front (hither) viewing plane. If omitted, the rear side of the window’s orthogonal box is used.

• -p2=<point>
  A 3-D point defining the rear (yon) viewing plane. If omitted, the front side of the window’s orthogonal box is used.

Notes

If the window is not currently in use, or is not a graphic window, no action is taken.

Examples

Draw a south view of the current orthogonal box in the current graphic window.

south

Draw a south view of the current orthogonal box in a specified window.

south win2

Draw a south view between two points.

south -p1=p0, -p2=my_point

Draw a south view between two Y ordinates.

south -o1=10, -o2=100
